In hydrocarbon, the boiling point directly varies with the length of carbon chain. On increasing the number of carbon atom, the boiling point of the compound also increases. Paraffin contains highest number of carbon atoms whereas, ethane is comprised of two carbon atoms.

The decreasing order of boiling point of mention compounds is written as follows:

Paraffin > Octadecane > Hexane > Neohexane > Ethane

‘Rather’ is always followed by ‘Than’. Thus, the phrase ‘would rather have’ is grammatically correct. The correct formation would be, ‘I would rather have a noble enemy than a mean friend’.
