Classify the following alkanes by increasing boiling temperatures:
Hexane
2,3-Dimethylbutane
2-Methylpentane
$ t^o_{éb} $:
2,3-Dimethylbutane < 2-Methylpentane < Hexane
This results from the fact that linear molecules have between them a larger contact surface, so higher intermolecular forces, than globular molecules.
