How boiling points varies when number of carbon atoms Increases in linear and branched alcohols.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As number of carbon atoms increases in linear alcohols, surface area increases, which increases the van der Waals forces and hence boiling point increases. In branched alcohols, decrease in surface area decreases the vander Waals forces, which decreases the boiling points.
