Alkanes and Cycloalkanes

Alkanes are saturated organic compounds which are made up of C and H atoms. Alkanes have the general formula of CnH2n+2. Alkane contains sp3 hybridized carbon atoms with four sigmas (σ) bonds & every hydrogen atom is connected with one of the carbon atoms. The size of the alkane could be determined by the number of carbon atoms located in it.

Question

Which alkane in each of the following pairs of compounds has the higher boiling
point?
(a) octane and heptane
octane
heptane
(b) dodecane and hexane
dodecane
Ohexane
