(a)
Interpretation:
The molecule having a higher boiling point is to be determined, and the reason for it is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Compounds with strong intermolecular forces have higher boiling points. The dominant intermolecular interaction between nonpolar molecules is called induced dipole–induced dipole interactions or London dispersion forces. Induced dipole–induced dipole interactions between the molecules tend to increase in strength as the contact surface area increases. As the length of the carbon chain increases, the surface area of the molecule also increases. Hence the compounds having a larger surface area have a higher boiling point than the ones having a smaller surface area.
