Arrange the following $(\mathrm{w}, \mathrm{x}, \mathrm{y}, \mathrm{z})$ in decreasing order of their boiling points:
  1. $\quad \mathrm{w}>\mathrm{x}>\mathrm{z}>\mathrm{y}$
  2. $\mathrm{w}>\mathrm{x}>\mathrm{y}>\mathrm{z}$
  3. $\quad \mathrm{w}>\mathrm{z}>\mathrm{y}>\mathrm{x}$
  4. $\quad \mathrm{w}>\mathrm{z}>\mathrm{x}>\mathrm{y}$

Solution

B.P. $\propto$ extent of $H$ bonding $\propto$ surface area of molecule.
