Question

Which series is in order of increasing boiling point?

A

CH_2CH_2CH_3OH

CH_3COCH_3

CH_3CH_2CH_3

B

CH_3CH_2CH_3

CH_3COCH_3

CH_2CH_2CH_3OH

C

CH_3COCH_3

CH_2CH_2CH_3OH

CH_3CH_2CH_3

D

CH_3CH_2CH_3

CH_2CH_2CH_3OH

CH_3COCH_3

▶️Answer/Explanation

Ans: B

Alcohols have H bonding, hence highest boiling point. 

Alkanes are non polar, hence lowest boiling point. 

Ketones are polar molecules, and there are two lone pairs on the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group. They will have more boiling pointy than alkanes but lesser than alcohols.
