Alcohols
This task is about sorting alcohols by particle size and boiling point.
An ethanol particle is larger than a methanol particle.
An ethanol particle is smaller than a propan-1-ol particle.
Ethanol has a higher boiling point than methanol.
Propan-1-ol has a higher boiling point than ethanol.
Use this information to answer the following questions.
