Arrange the following alkenes in increasing order of their boiling points. But-1-ene, 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene, 2- methylpropene, propene, 2-methylbut-2-ene.

Answer»

Propene < 2-methylpropene < but-1-ene < 2- methylbut-2-ene < 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene. 

Note: Melting points and boiling points of alkenes.
