Answer:

Option E

RbCL<CH3OH< CH3Cl< CH4

Step-by-step explanation:

The boiling temperature of an organic compound increases with the increase in number of carbon atoms and hence as the length of the hydrocarbon chain increases the boiling temperature also increase due to increase in force of attraction between the molecules. Also presence of strong molecules such as OH – COOH also increases the boiling temperature while Cl and other elements with high electronegativity reduces the boiling temperature

Hence, the correct order of increasing boiling temperature is option E

RbCL<CH3OH< CH3Cl< CH4
