Isomers of hexane, based on their branching, can be divided into three distinct classes as shown in the
figure.

Isomers of hexane, based on their branching, can be divided into three distinct classes as shown in the figure. The
The correct order of their boiling point is

Options

  1. AI > II > III
  2. BIII > II > I
  3. CII > III > I
  4. DIII > I > II

Correct answer

B. III > II > I
