Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Boiling point of a compound depends upon the surface area. Higher the surface area, higher
will be the boiling point of a compound. Surface area decreases with increase in branching. If the compound has branching then its boiling point will be minimum. Thus, the increasing order of their boiling points is
(Maximum branching; lowest b.p. 346 K)
