Assertion : Melting point of neopentane ...

Assertion : Melting point of neopentane is higher than that of n-pentane but the boiling point of n-pentane is higher than that of neopentane.
Reason : Melting point depends upon packing of molecules in the crystal lattice while boiling point depends upon surface area of the molecule.
