Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Among the given compounds, the one that has higher boiling point is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

The boiling point of a molecule depends upon the interactions that result from permanent or induced dipoles. The boiling point of alkane increases with an increase in the size of the hydrocarbon chain. In simple words, more is the molecular size; more is the boiling point of alkane.
