Question

The compound with the highest boiling point is

(a) 2-methyl butane

(b) n -pentane

(c) 2, 2-dimethyl propane

(d) n-hexane

Answer 1

The correct option (d) n-hexane

Explanation:

Boiling point show regular gradation with increase in molecular weights but increase in branching, lowers the boiling points of saturated hydrocarbons, Hence, n-hexane has highest boiling point among these.
