Why there is a short difference in melting and boiling point of methyl substitued butane?

Because the only force holding methyl substituted butane together is a very weak dispersion force and it is not very heavy so it pretty much wants to be a gas.

What is the difference between pentane and butane gas?
Butane has higher melting and boiling points.
What physical property is identical for the two isomers co C4H10?
The melting and boiling points are different. Butane has a melting point of 135.4K and 2-methylpropane [isobutane] has a melting point of 114K. The boiling point of Butane is 272.6K and isobutane @ 261K. It has to do with there structures. J
What is the freezing point of butane?
n-butane : Melting point −138.4 °C (135.4 K), boiling at −0.5 °C (272.6 K)iso-butane (methylpropane): Melting point -159.6 °C, (114 K) , boiling at -11.7 °C, (261 K)
Which has a lower boiling point butane or water?
benzene has lower boiling point than water
What is the alkane with a boiling point of 0?
Butane has a boiling point of 0.5 degrees centigrade
Temperature of liquid butane sprayed in air?
The boiling point of butane is roughly -1.1oC.
Why is it propane has a boiling point of -42.1 while butanehas -0.5?
because of difference in structure propane (C3H8) has bigger molar mass then butane (C4H10) the molecules of butane are heavier and the forces between them are stronger as in propane, because of this more energy is needed to transfer liquid butane to gas
Which of these alkanes methane ethane propane and butane expect to have the highest boiling point?
Butane because it contains more atoms and is heavier.

Why butane is easy to undergo a change in phase?
Because its Boiling point is closer to normal room temperature.
Why does a butane lighter work poorly in cold weather?
The boiling point of Butane is approximately -0.5 C at sea level (This boiling point will drop with an increase in altitude given the reduced pressure). This means that as the lighter nears freezing less gas will be vaporized inside of the lighter and will make it hard to light.
