Hexane, C6H14 , and 2,2-dimethylbutane, CH3C(CH3)2CH2CH3 , are two isomers of one another and have the same Mr of 86.0. Hexane has a higher boiling point than 2,2-dimethylbutane.
Which of the following statements is not correct?
(A) Hexane has a higher boiling point because it is a straight-chain molecule
(B) 2,2-dimethylbutane has a lower boiling point as it is a branched molecule
(C) 2,2-dimethylbutane only contains London dispersion forces
(D) Hexane contains permanent dipole–dipole forces
