The image below shows the boiling point of first seven straight chain primary alcohols and first seven straight chain primary alkanes.

Question Image

The boiling point of both the series increase monotonically with increasing size of the molecules. However, the slope of increment is different for both the series. Observe the above graph and answer the following question:

How will the boiling point graph for straight chain primary amines fare as compared to alcohols and alkanes?
