Question
Which of the following has the highest boiling point?
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
n-Butyl alcohol (1-butanol) has the highest boiling point among the options because it can form intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The other compounds (ether, aldehyde, alkyl chloride) have only dipole-dipole and van der Waals forces.
