Question

For the compounds:

(A) \(H_3C-CH_2-O-CH_2-CH_2-CH_3\)

(B) \(H_3C-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH_3\)

(C) \(CH_3 - CH _2 - \underset{O}{\underset{||}{C}}-CH_2 - CH_3\)

(D) \(H_3C-\underset{OH}{\underset{|}{CH}}-CH_2 - CH_2 - CH _3\)
The increasing order of boiling point is :

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

(1) (A) < (B) < (C) < (D) 

(2) (B) < (A) < (C) < (D) 

(3) (D) < (C) < (A) < (B) 

(4) (B) < (A) < (D) < (C)

Answer 1

Correct option is (2) (B) < (A) < (C) < (D) 

Compounds having same number of carbon atoms follow the boiling point order as:

\(\text{(Boiling Point) }_{\text{Hydrogen bonding}} > \mathrm{(Boiling\, point)_{high\, polarity} }> \)

\(\mathrm{(Boiling \, point) _ {low \, polarity}} > \mathrm{(Boiling\, Point)_ {non \,polar}}\)
