Question

The compound with the highest boiling point is

(a)  2-methyl butane

(b)  n -pentane

(c)  2, 2-dimethyl propane

 (d)  n-hexane

Answer 1

Correct option  (d) n-hexane

Explanation:

Boiling point show regular gradation with increase in The mechanism of the reaction is represented as follows molecular weights but increase in branching, lowers the boiling points of saturated hydrocarbons, Hence, n-hexane has highest boiling point among these.
