Detailed Solution

If a compound have same m.f. but different chain isomer, then linear chain have higher boiling point and branched chains have lower boiling point. 

Then the boiling points of 3 isomeric pentane is-

CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3

               n-pentane

         Boiling point = 360C

Question Image

Boiling point = 280C

The IUPAC name of neopentane is - Tardigrade

neo-pentane

         Boiling point = 9.50C
