Question

An isomer with a branched structure will require:

Answer 1

The  branched  structure  isomer  will require   less  energy  to  melt  than the straight  chain  isomer

    explanation
Branched  structure  isomer    has  weak  intermolecular  forces  of attraction  as  compared  to  straight  chain  isomers.  In addition the  branched  isomer  has  a  low boiling point as  compared to  straight chain isomers. Since   boiling require  the of  the  intermolecular  forces tend to have  lower  boiling  point   than straight chain
