Question:

Which of the following compound has the lowest boiling point?

Show Hint

The boiling point of a substance is determined by the strength of its intermolecular forces. Substances with stronger forces (like hydrogen bonding) tend to have higher boiling points.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Among the given compounds, carbon disulfide (CS\(_2\)) has the lowest boiling point. This is due to its weak intermolecular forces (van der Waals forces), compared to the hydrogen bonding present in water, ethanol, and chloroform. 
Thus, the correct answer is (A).
