Question

What happens to the boiling point of hydrocarbon compounds when the number of carbon atom increases

A. Decreases
B. Increases
C. Remains the same
D. None of these

I NEED YOUR ANSWER RN GUYSS PLEASEE​

Answer 1

The boiling points of alkanes increases with increasing number of carbons. This is because the intermolecular attractive forces, although individually weak, become cumulatively more significant as the number of atoms and electrons in the molecule increases.



So therefore your answer choice will increase. (B)
