Question
Arrange the following compounds in the increasing order of polarity
A.$\ {CH}_{3}{CH}_{2}{OCH}_{2}{CH}_{3}$
B.$\ {CH}_{3}{CH}_{2}OH$
C$\ {CH}_{3}{COCH}_{3}$
D$\ {CH}_{3}COOH$
Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Options
A.C $<$ A $<$ B $<$ D
B.A $<$ C $<$ B $<$ D
C.A $<$ B $<$ C $<$ D
D.C $<$ A $<$ D $<$ B
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Order of polarity of the compounds] On the basis of polarity the correct order is
$${C_{2}H_{5}{OC}_{2}H_{5} < {CH}_{3}{COCH}_{3} < {CH}_{3}{CH}_{2}OH < {CH}_{3}COOH } {So\ correct\ order\ is } {A < C < B < D}$$
