which of the following organic compounds has the lowest boiling point?
C\(_6\)H\(_14\)
C\(_5\)H\(_12\)
C\(_4\)H\(_10\)
( CH\(_3\) )\(_3\)
Correct answer is D
- The boiling points of alkanes increase with increasing number of carbons. This is because the intermolecular attractive forces, although individually weak, become cumulatively more significant as the number of atoms and electrons in the molecule increases.
- However; branched alkanes normally exhibit lower boiling points than unbranched alkanes of the same carbon content. This occurs because of the greater van der Waals forces that exist between molecules of the unbranched alkanes
