Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structure of isomer that boils at $-23°C$ and of the isomer that boils at $78.5°C$ is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

When the vapor pressure of the substance is same as the pressure of surrounding atmosphere is known as the boiling point. The boiling point of the substance depends on the intermolecular forces between the molecules of the substance.
