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:
I>II>III
III>I>II
III>II>I
II>III>I
Solution:
The correct order of their boiling point is III>II>I. More the branching in an alkane, lesser will be the surface area, lesser will be the boiling point as weaker will be the intermolecular attractive forces.
