Identify the decreasing order of boiling point of alkanes (i) n-pentane (ii) Isopentane (iii) Neopentane
- A Isopentane \(>\) n-pentane \(>\) Neopentane
- B Neopentane \(>\) Isopentane \(>\mathrm{n}\) -pentane
- C n-pentane \(>\) Isopentane \(>\) Neopentane
- D Isopentane \(>\) Neopentane \(>\mathrm{n}\) -pentane
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) n-pentane \(>\) Isopentane \(>\) Neopentane
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

Neopentane has only one type of hydrogen. So it yields only one monochloroderivative.
