The correct order of boiling points of following molecules is
(i) n-Hexane
(ii) 2-methylpentane
(iii) 2,3-dimethylbutane
i $>$ ii $>$ iii
iii $>$ ii $>$ i
iii $>$ i $>$ ii
i $>$ iii $>$ ii
Solution
(Boiling point of isomeric alkanes decreases with increasing branching due to a decrease in the exposed surface area that leads to weaker van der Waal forces. Thus, the order will be :-
