The correct order of boiling point of primary (1°), secondary (2°) and tertiary (3°) alcohols is (a) 1° > 2° > 3° (b) 3° > 2° > 1° (c) 2° > 1° > 3° (d) 2° > 3° > 1° |

Answer» Correct option isA1degree >2 degree >3 degreeThe presence of −OH groups in a COMPOUND leads to Hydrogen-bonding which greatly increases its boiling. Generally, the more 'exposed' the −OH group, the better it can PARTICIPATE in intermolecular H-bonding and thus, the boiling POINT will elevate. By that logic, primary alcohols will have the highest boiling point while tertiary alcohols will have the lowest boiling point.1°>2°>3°Thanks |
