Incorrect boiling point order is?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the incorrect boiling point order among given compounds with specific structural formulas. It involves understanding the intermolecular forces such as hydrogen bonding and molecular structure that influence boiling points.
Answer
CH3CHO > CH3COCH3 > CH3CH2OH is incorrect.
The order CH3CHO > CH3COCH3 > CH3CH2OH is incorrect; CH3CH2OH should have the highest boiling point due to hydrogen bonding.
Answer for screen readers
The order CH3CHO > CH3COCH3 > CH3CH2OH is incorrect; CH3CH2OH should have the highest boiling point due to hydrogen bonding.
More Information
Alcohols typically have higher boiling points than aldehydes and ketones due to hydrogen bonding.
Tips
Be careful with the assumption that higher molecular weight always means higher boiling point. Consider intermolecular forces.
