the boiling point between Hexane and 2,2-dimethylbutane

Why Hexane has a higher boiling point than 2,2-dimethylbutane?
About the surface area and the length of longest chain?

Due to Vanderwaal's foces of attraction which depends on surface area. As branching takes place Vanderwaal's forces decreases
