The correct order of boiling points of N-ethylethanamine (I), ethoxyethane (II) and butan-2-ol (III) is

  1. A III \( < \) II \( < \) I
  2. B II \( < \) III \( < \) I
  3. C II \( < \) I \( < \) III
  4. D III \( < \) I \( < \) II
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) II \( < \) I \( < \) III

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint : Butan-2-ol shows stronger H-bonding than N-ethylenthanamine. Ethoxyethane involves dipole association, weaker than \(\mathrm{H}\)-bonding
