Boiling Point
The temperature at which a liquid changes to a gas at a given pressure, characteristic for each specific substance.
Branched Alkane
Hydrocarbons featuring a tree-like structure, where carbon chains deviate from a straight chain due to side chains.
London Force
Weak, temporary van der Waals forces arising from the instantaneous polarization of molecules due to the movement of electrons.
