Arrange the following functional groups in order of lowest boiling point to high

Question

Arrange the following functional groups in order of lowest boiling point to highest. Assume they are of similar molecular weights.
Alkane, Allene, alkyne, Ester, ether, alcohol, Amine, ketone,aldehyde,andhydride, amide, ketone, and carboxylic acid Arrange the following functional groups in order of lowest boiling point to highest. Assume they are of similar molecular weights.
Alkane, Allene, alkyne, Ester, ether, alcohol, Amine, ketone,aldehyde,andhydride, amide, ketone, and carboxylic acid
Alkane, Allene, alkyne, Ester, ether, alcohol, Amine, ketone,aldehyde,andhydride, amide, ketone, and carboxylic acid

Explanation / Answer

alkanes < alkenes < alkynes < ethers < aldehydes < ketones < esters < anhydrides < amines < amides < alcohols < carboxyllic acids.

higher the intermolecular attraction higher the boiling points.
