Isomers of hexane, based on their branching, can be divided into three distinct classes as shown in the figure.

The correct order of their boiling point is
- A I > II > III
- B III > II > I
- C II > III > I
- D III > I > II
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) III > II > I
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
III > II > I
More the branching in an alkane, lesser will be the surface area, lesser will be the boiling point.
More the branching in an alkane, lesser will be the surface area, lesser will be the boiling point.
