Would you expect an alcohol, an amine, or an ether to have the highest boiling point?
Solution
assuming all are having comparable molecular masses.
the molecule one which having strongest intermolecular forces higher the boiling points.
among three molecules given alcohols can form strong hydrogen bonding.
so alcohols have highest boiling points,
amines can also form hydrogen bonding but weaker compared to alcohols.
so alcohols having highest boiling points among three molecules given.
