Given below are two statements:

Statement $I$ : The boiling point of three isomeric pentanes follows the order

n-pentane $>$ isopentane $>$ neopentane

Statement $II$ : When branching increases, the molecule attains a shape of sphere. This results in smaller surface area for contact, due to which the intermolecular forces between the spherical molecules are weak, thereby lowering the boiling point.
