Summary Introduction

To predict:

Which compound has higher boiling point, butane or 2-methylpropane.

Introduction:

Point where substance starts boiling and turns into vapor is called boiling point. The pressure of vapor in contact with its liquid or solid form called vapor pressure. Butane is an alkane of four carbon atoms, $\text{C4H}10$ is the chemical formula and 2-methylpropane, and is also called isobutene with same molecular formula of butane $\text{C}4\text{H}10$ is an isomer of butane.
