Detailed Solution
As MW increases, vanderwaals forces become stronger, BP increases1) CH4 < C2H6 ... TrueBoiling point mainly depends on MW, only when MW is same then branching increases boiling point decreases;(2)….MW of isopentane > n-butane;(3)….Branching in isopentane < neo pentane;(4)…MW of isobutane > propane
