Arrange in order by decreasing boiling point: CH 3 CH 2 OH, HOCH 2 CH 2 OH, C 4 H 10

HOCH 2 CH 2 OH (ethylene glycol) has the highest boiling point due to strong hydrogen bonding. CH 3 CH 2 OH (ethanol) also exhibits hydrogen bonding but is less extensive than in ethylene glycol. C 4 H 10 (butane) has the lowest boiling point as it only has weak van der Waals forces.
