The increasing order of boiling point is : Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. Option A:

    (( A )<)< (B) << (C) << (D)

  2. Option B:

    (( B) << (A) << (C) << (D)

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    (D) << (C) << (A) << (B)

  4. Option D:

    (( B) << (A) << (D) << ©

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

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

( Boiling point )Hydrogen bonding >( Boiling point )high polarity >(\text { Boiling point })_{\text {Hydrogen bonding }}>(\text { Boiling point })_{\text {high polarity }}>

( Boiling point )low polarity >( Boiling point )non polar (\text { Boiling point })_{\text {low polarity }}>(\text { Boiling point })_{\text {non polar }}
