The boiling points for a set of compounds in a homologous series can be qualitatively predicted using intermolecular force strengths. using their condensed structural formulas, rank the homologous series for a set of alkanes by their boiling point. rank from highest to lowest boiling point. to rank items as equivalent, overlap them. a)ch3ch2ch2ch3 b) ch3ch2ch2ch2ch2ch3ch3c) ch3ch2cch2ch3ch3d)ch3ch2ch2ch2ch2ch 2ch3answer is d, b , c, a

Heptane (d) > Hexane (b)  3,3 dimethyl pentane (c) > butane (a)

Explanation:

The boiling points of the alkanes are depends on the following factors:

The given molecules are as follows.

a) Butane

b) Hexane

c) 3,3 dimethyl pentane

d) Heptane.

The Highest to lowest boiling point order is as follows.

Heptane (d) > Hexane (b)  3,3 dimethyl pentane (c) > butane (a)

it would be d. henry moseley

hope this !
