The boiling points of the isomeric carbonyl compounds heptanal, 4-heptanone, and 2,4-dimethyl-3-pentanone are 155°C, 144°C, and 124°C, respectively. Suggest a possible explanation for the observed order. (Hint: Recall the effect of chain branching on the boiling points of isomeric alkanes, and how steric effects can influence the association of the molecules.)
