Detailed Solution

  • Nitrogen is less electronegative than oxygen. So, N-H bond is less polar than O-H bond.

Thus, alcohol and acid have more hydrogen bonding than amines.

Also, carboxylic acids have more extensive H-bonding due to its association nature.

Since, H-bonding α boiling point

Thus, Boiling point order will be,

RCH2NH2<RCH2OH<RCOOH
