Identify the decreasing order of boiling point of alkanes (i) n-pentane (ii) Isopentane (iii) Neopentane

  1. A Isopentane \(>\) n-pentane \(>\) Neopentane
  2. B Neopentane \(>\) Isopentane \(>\mathrm{n}\) -pentane
  3. C n-pentane \(>\) Isopentane \(>\) Neopentane
  4. D Isopentane \(>\) Neopentane \(>\mathrm{n}\) -pentane
Verified Solution

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.
