3-methylheptane is a branched chain alkane while n-octane is straight chain. Branched chain molecules have lower boiling points because they cannot line up together for the intermolecular forces to be as effective.
Molecular shape.
Octane has greater interaction along the entire molecule creating stronger LDFs, resulting in a higher BP. Vise versa.
Isomers have different geometrical structure and properties.
Because of it's higher volatility.
Straight chain isomers have higher boiling points, so the more branched the isomer the lower the boiling point.
they form temporary, weak dipole attractions between molecules
This is because the two isomers have different boiling points and one of which falls under 100 degrees celsius (2-nitrophenol). hence the first to evaporate out is the 2nitrophenol and the rest will be 4nitrophenol. This is because the two isomers have different boiling points and one of which falls under 100 degrees celsius (2-nitrophenol). hence the first to evaporate out is the 2nitrophenol and the rest will be 4nitrophenol.
different substances have different boiling points, a main reference to boiling points is the boiling point of water (H2O) which is 100 degrees Celsius
In organic chemistry, alkanes such as C8H18 have structural isomers. The more these isomers are branched the lower the boiling point is. The reason for this, is that un-branched alkanes have a higher mass area, they are more likely to have more potential points of attachments for other atoms or molecules which would then raise intramolecular forces thus increasing boiling points. The structural isomer of C8H18 that has the boiling point is systematically known as 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane.
Since the isomers of pentane have different boiling points, they can be separated by techniques such as fractional distillation.

Yes. Propyl alcohol has 2 forms, normal n-propyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol. They have different boiling points, different freezing points. They are 2 different compounds. The change in structure causes properties to be different, thus different compounds.

In fractional distillation, the substances in a mixture are heated to their boiling points. Different substances have different boiling points, so will be separated at different times. The answer to your question is simply because they have different boiling points.

It depends on the metal. Different metals have different boiling points.
Melting and boiling points are different for each compound or element.
All different covalent compounds have different boiling points.
There is no single boiling point. A variety of substances can form hydrogen bonds, all with different boiling points.
