    The decreasing order of boiling points of the following alcohols is    

    A) 3-methylbutan-2-ol > 2-methylbutan-2-ol > pentan-1-ol

    B) pentan-1-ol > 3-methylbutan-2-ol > 2 -methylbutan-2-ol

    C) 2-methylbutan-2-ol > 3-methylbutan-2-ol > pentan-1-ol

    D) 2-methylbutan-2-ol > pentan-1-ol > 3-methylbutan-2-ol

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\underset{Pentan-1-ol}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}OH}}\,\underset{3-Methylbutan-2-ol}{\mathop{>\overset{4}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{3}{\mathop{CH}}}\,-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\  OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{2}{\mathop{CH}}}\,-\overset{1}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}}}\,>}}\,\]\[\underset{2-Methylbutan-2-ol}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\  OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\ | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\]     Boiling point of pri. >sec.> tert alcohol.
