Because the boiling point of n-butyl bromide increases as branching decreases, it has a higher boiling point than tert butyl bromide. This is due to the fact that when the surface area of the molecule decreases, the molecule becomes more spherical. Intermolecular forces weaken, as a result, resulting in a lower boiling point.
