Which mechanism primarily drives the increased volatility of smaller branched isomers within organic molecules?

💡 Explanation

Smaller branched isomers have reduced volatility because the branching diminishes the surface area for intermolecular contact; therefore London dispersion forces are lessened allowing vaporization rather than stronger interactions. This is rather than increased polarity effects that enhance other intermolecular forces.
