B. Pentane
C. Butanoic acid
D. Diethyl ether
E. Butanal



Answer :

GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

1-Butanol has the highest boiling point due to strong hydrogen bonding, while pentane has the lowest boiling point.


Explanation:

1-Butanol is predicted to have the highest boiling point among the given compounds due to strong hydrogen bonding with the alcohol group. Pentane would have the lowest boiling point due to weaker intermolecular forces compared to the compounds with functional groups.
