Nonane will have a higher boiling point than octane, because it has a longer carbon chain than octane. Octane will have a higher boiling point than 2,2,3,3‑tetramethylbutane, because it branches less than 2,2,3,3‑tetramethylbutane, and therefore has a larger “surface area” and more van der Waals forces.
