Which of the following has the lowest boiling point?
Options
- ACH ₃ CH ₂ OH
- BCH ₃- CH ₂- NH ₂
- CCH ₃- O - CH ₃
- DHCOOH
Correct answer
C. CH ₃- O - CH ₃
Step-by-step solution
We are given alcohol, carboxylic acid, amine and ether. So, the boiling point of ether ( CH ₃- O - CH ₃ ) will be lowest in alcohol and carboxyl acid and amines, there is H-bonding responsible for higher boiling point as compared to ether.
