The compound with highest boiling point is

Question

The compound with highest boiling point is (A) 2 -methyl butane (B) n -pentane (C) 2 . 2 -dimethyl propane (D) n-hexane

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Among alkanes, boiling point increases with molar mass.Among isomeric alkanes, branching decreases boiling point.Therefore, n-hexane has highest boiling point among these.
