18. Consider the following two compounds: CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3 and (CH3)2CHCH2CH3 Which statement below is INCORRECT? A) CH3CH₂CH₂CH₂CH3 has the higher boiling point. B) Greater surface area leads to more intermolecular attraction which results in a higher boiling point. C) (CH3)2CHCH2CH3 has the higher boiling point D) As the degree of branching increases, the surface area of the molecule decreases and the potential for intermolecular attraction via London forces decreases.
