Boiling Point increases with surface area of a compound, because increased surface area increases the force of attraction between molecules in the compound.
So, clearly, 1 has the highest boiling point.

anonymous · Answer

Yes but shouldn't the arrangement of latice increse the boiling point as it branches

anonymous · Answer

ok i ll tell u the ans give me the reason ok
ans is 3)

anonymous · Answer

well I think that when it as arranged it space it forms a more compact structure thus increasing the bond strength

anonymous · Answer

correct..
i posted this qn to memorise previous concept
as we are aid that more branching less boiling point but str 3 is xception here the str. is compact and it is tetragedral in which we are said more branching high boiling point :)
