Which outcome affects octane number from molecular changes?

💡 Explanation

Increased branched-chain alkane formation causes higher octane numbers because it increases resistance to auto-ignition in combustion from steric hindrance effects. Therefore increased branching raises octane number, rather than changes in aromatics or cyclic alkenes.
