Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their boiling points and give reason.

Answer

Propan-2-ol molecules are associated with intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Therefore, the boiling point of propan-2-ol would be highest. pent-2-ene molecules have only weak vander waals forces. Thus, it have lowest boiling point. Hence increasing order of boiling point is,
