Answer:
a. Hydrocarbons have low boiling points compared to compounds of similar molar mass.
b. Hydrocarbons are hydrophobic.
d. Hydrocarbons are insoluble in water.
Explanation:
As we know that the hydrocarbons is a mix of carbon and hydrogen. In this the availability of the electronegative atom is not there that shows there is no bonding of the hydrogen plus it is dissolved. Also, the hydrocarbons is considered to be a non-polar but as compared to the water, water is a polar
In addition to this, the strong bond is no existed that shows the lower boiling points
Therefore option A, B and D are right
