Question

Rank the following from lowest to highest anticipated boiling point: C8H18, CH, C16H34,CH4,C4H10

Answer 1

The relative strength of intermolecular forces such as ionic, hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interaction and Vander Waals dispersion force affects the boiling point of a compound. For this case, the longer the chain the higher the boiling point. 

CH, CH4, C4H10, C8H18, C16H34

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
