Hexane, C6H14\text{C}_6\text{H}_{14} , and 2,2-dimethylbutane, CH3C(CH3)2CH2CH3\text{CH}_3\text{C}(\text{CH}_3)_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_3 , are two isomers of one another and have the same MrM_r 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.
