Question

which will have higher boiling point of 1-bromo butane and 2-bromo-2-methyl propane?

Open in App

Solution

Among constitutional isomers, branched isomers have a more compact shape, decreased area, decreased van der Waals attractive forces and thus lower boiling points.Therefore, 1-bromo butane will have higher boiling point than 2-bromo-2-methyl propane
