What is the ranking of functional groups by boiling point in 5-carbon compounds?

[AdnamaLeigh]

Assuming each of these functional groups were found in compounds containing only 5 carbon atoms, rank them in order from lowest to highest boiling point.

I don't know where ester, ketone, and ether fit in. I know that it all has to do with intermolecular forces, but I'm stumped since the last three only have dipole-dipole.

Edit: I take back about what I said about amides and alcohols earlier.

alcohols < amides

Well to be exact, you should refer to your text, or an internet resource, unless they specifically ask you do explain your proposal.l

< esters < ketones < ethers

The ranking of functional groups by boiling point in 5-carbon compounds would be:

1. Ethers - Ethers have the lowest boiling point among the given functional groups due to their relatively weak dipole-dipole interactions.

2. Ketones - Ketones have a slightly higher boiling point than ethers due to the presence of a carbonyl group, which increases the dipole-dipole interactions.

3. Esters - Esters have a higher boiling point than ketones due to the presence of an additional oxygen atom, which increases the dipole-dipole interactions.

4. Amides - Amides have a higher boiling point than esters due to the presence of a nitrogen atom, which can participate in hydrogen bonding with other amides.

5. Alcohols - Alcohols have the highest boiling point among the given functional groups due to the presence of a hydroxyl group, which can participate in strong hydrogen bonding with other alcohols.
