Question
**Question 3:** Arrange in the order of increasing boiling points.

- **Structures:**
  - **I:** Cyclopentene
  - **II:** Cyclopentanone
  - **III:** Cyclopentanol

**Options:**
- A) I < II < III
- B) I < III < II
- C) III < II < I
- D) III < I < II

---

**Explanation:**

- **Cyclopentene** (I) has a lower boiling point due to weaker van der Waals forces.
- **Cyclopentanone** (II) has a higher boiling point due to the presence of a polar carbonyl group, leading to dipole-dipole interactions.
- **Cyclopentanol** (III) has the highest boiling point because of hydrogen bonding.

Correct arrangement: A) I < II < III.
