    Shib option D is correct.

    Only option D is showing highest boiling point for n- butanol.

    Still there is explanation. If you need then I can explain you on paper

    Before giving explanation I want to ask a question. What determines the boiling point ?

    As the length of carbon chain increases, the surface area of the compound will also increase. Van der Waals dispersion force is proportional to the surface area. ... Branching in molecules decreases the surface area thereby decreasing the attractive force between individual molecules.So branching decreases BP

    check this shib...all factors which affects BP

    Still any doubt comes then please ask shib😊

    sir can u pz tell why brachd chain has low bp

    eduncle-logo-app

    Yes, absolutely. See, when there's branching in the parent chain, the surface area of the molecule decreases because it starts becoming spherical and circular and due to this low surface area, Van Der Waals forces start decreasing and hence molecule becomes volatile i.e low boiling point.

    Dear Sankar, always remember - Vanderwaals forces is directly proportional to boiling point of a compound and is inversely proportional to the surface area of the compound.
