One of Chad's Quizzes has a multiple choice question asking which one of the following statements is correct, and one of his answers (not the correct one) is: "Resonance decreases the boiling point of compounds."
In the video answer he says that resonance doesn't have a direct effect on the boiling point, but if boiling point increases with increasing intermolecular forces, and resonance decreases intermolecular forces, then wouldn't you be correct in saying that an isomer with resonance should have a lower boiling point than another without resonance?
Thanks!
