Q

Explain whether methane (CH4) or butane (C4H10) has a higher boiling point

A

C4H10 is larger and has more mass than CH4. The dispersion force operating between C4H10 is stronger than the one operating between CH4 and requires larger amount of energy to be disrupted. C4H10 has a higher boiling point.
