Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The compound (undecane and pentane) which has higher melting point has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

London Dispersion forces:

London dispersion forces are weak interactions due to the temporary changes in electron density in a molecule.  All covalent compound exhibits London dispersion forces.  These intermolecular forces are the only intermolecular forces present in nonpolar compounds.
