Question

For the compounds:
(A) \( \text{H}_3\text{C} - \text{CH}_2 - \text{O} - \text{CH}_2 - \text{CH}_2 - \text{CH}_3 \)
(B) \( \text{H}_3\text{C} - \text{CH}_2 - \text{CH}_2 - \text{CH}_3 \)  
(C) \( \text{CH}_3 - \text{CH}_2 - \text{C} - \text{CH}_2 - \text{CH}_3 \)  
\(\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ||\ \)  
\(\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{O}\ \)  

(D) \( \text{H}_3\text{C} - \text{CH} - \text{CH}_2 - \text{CH}_2 - \text{CH}_3 \)  
\(\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\ \)  
\(\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{OH}\ \)  
 
The increasing order of boiling point is: Choose the correct answer from the options given below:  

• A. (A)<(B)<(C)<(D)
• B. (B)<(A)<(C)<(D)
• C. (D)<(C)<(A)<(B)
• D. (B)<(A)<(D)<(C)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

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

\((\text{Boiling point})_{\text{Hydrogen bonding}} > (\text{Boiling point})_{\text{High polarity}} > (\text{Boiling point})_{\text{Low polarity}} > (\text{Boiling point})_{\text{Non-polar}}\)
