Butane can generate A PAIR of structural isomers...........

Explanation:

Straight chain n-butane has a normal boiling point of approx. 0 C, isobutane, 2-methylpropane, has a normal boiling point of approx. 10 C. Can you check these boiling points, and suggest why isobutane should be more volatile?
