Chapter 23.4, Problem 4P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The given compounds are to be ranked in increasing order of boiling points.

Concept introduction: The boiling point depends on the intermolecular forces. Stronger the intermolecular force, higher is the boiling point. The interaction that exists between the molecules is called as intermolecular forces. The nature of forces present depends on the type of functional group present in the molecule. Different types of interactions present in covalent compounds are van der Waals forces, dipole-dipole interactions and hydrogen bonding.
