D) A C B

Question

What is the correct order of boiling points of the following compounds? 
A) A > B > C 
B) C > B > A 
C) B > A > C 
D) A > C > B

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The order of boiling points depends on the strength of intermolecular forces. In this case, B contains hydrogen bonding which is the strongest intermolecular force and requires the most energy to break. Therefore, B will have the highest boiling point followed by A and then C. The correct order of boiling points is B > A > C which matches with choice C.
