Which of the following has the highest boiling point?

Which of the following has the highest boiling point?

  • A. Ne
  • B. не
  • C. \( C H_{4} \)
  • D. xe

Step-by-step solution

Boiling points of nonpolar substances increase with molar mass due to stronger London dispersion forces. Among Ne (20 g/mol), He (4 g/mol), CH4 (16 g/mol), and Xe (131 g/mol), Xe has the highest molar mass and thus the highest boiling point.
