Introduction On Chemistry - CHEM1010

The boiling point is the Minimum Temperature of any substance at which the liquid phase of the substance turns into the Gaseous Phase. The boiling point is considered to be an imperative aspect to measure the strength of forces present between the molecules. The three main aspects which affect the boiling point of any substance are as highlighted below (Ashenhurs, 2011): Presence of branching in substance reduces the boiling point High number of carbon molecules increases the boiling point Strength of intermolecular forces.
