What is the correct order of boiling points of alcohols having the same number of carbon atoms?
What is the correct order of boiling points of alcohols having the same number of carbon atoms? Correct Answer 1°>2°>3°
As the branching in the structure increases, the surface area decreases and hence, the van der Waal forces decrease. This results in the reduction of boiling points of isomeric alcohols from primary to tertiary structures.
