Which of the following has the highest boiling point?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Alkynes
- Alkynes have the highest boiling point among the given options due to their strong intermolecular forces of attraction.
- Alkynes have triple bonds between carbon atoms, which results in a linear shape and close packing of molecules, leading to strong van der Waals forces.
