Question

(I) 1,2-dihydroxybenzene
(II) 1,3-dihydroxybenzene
(III) 1,4-dihydroxybenzene
(IV) Hydroxybenzene.
The increasing order of boiling points of above mentioned alcohols is

• A. I < II < III < IV
• B. I < II < IV < III
• C. IV < I < II < III
• D. IV < II < I < III

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$1,4$-dihydroxy benzene shows highest boiling point among given compounds due to intermolecular $H$-bonding.
