For the compounds: (A) H3C-CH2-O-CH2-CH2-CH3 (B) H3C-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3 (C) CH3-CH2-C(=O)-CH2-CH3 (D) H3C-CH(OH)-CH2-CH2-CH3 The increasing order of boiling point is : Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Question

Accepted Answer

(B) < (A) < (C) < (D). The boiling points of these compounds increase with the presence of functional groups and molecular weight. Compound (B) is a simple alkane with the lowest boiling point, while (D) has an alcohol group that significantly raises its boiling point due to hydrogen bonding, followed by (C) with a carbonyl group, and (A) with an ether linkage, which has a moderate boiling point.
