more branching more boiling pont

anonymous · Answer

yea

anonymous · Answer

Thanx...But may I know the reason why it's possessing the highest boiling point?

anonymous · Answer

i dunno the exact reason for that sorry but yea i have rough view dat more branching means it will take a lot time to get break down in simple for example u see in alkyne it is having higher boiling point as triple bonds take more time to get broken a compare to alkane or alkene

anonymous · Answer

so triple bond  needs  high temperature to get broken

anonymous · Answer

yeah that's a good point but still thanx...
if u don't mind, can i ask u few more questions right now?@heena

anonymous · Answer

yea plz
