Chapter 2, Problem 2.71P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

It is to be explained why alcohols having the same molecular formula differ significantly in their boiling points.

Concept introduction:

As the surface area increases, the boiling point increases due to increased strengths of intermolecular interactions. As the surface area increases, the ability of individual molecules to attract each other increases. Branching in molecules decreases the surface area, thereby decreasing the attractive forces between individual molecules. As a result, the boiling point decreases.
