    Butane = −0.5 °C (272.7 K)

    Isobutane = −11.7 °C (261.5 K)

    Straight chain isomers have higher boiling point than their more compact isomers because there are fewer dispersion forces in the symmetrical molecule

    The dispersion forces of straight chain alkanes increase with molecular weight.

    Stronger intermolecular forces develop in long chains, and the boiling point and melting point increase with MW.
