Isomers of hexane, based on their branching, can be divided into three distinct classes as shown in the figure. The correct order of their boiling point is
Options
- AI > II > III
- BIII > II > I
- CII > III > I
- DIII > I > II
Correct answer
B. III > II > I
Step-by-step solution
III > II > I More the branching in an alkane, lesser will be the surface area, lesser will be the boiling point.
