Question

Arrange the following compounds in decreasing order of their boiling points (.i.) CH3Cl (.ii.) CH3CH2Cl (.iii.) CH3CH2CH2Cl (.iv.) CH3CH2CH2CH2Cl (A) (iii) > (iv) > (i) > (ii) (B) (iv) > (iii) > (ii) > (i) (C) (i) > (iii) > (ii) > (iv) (D) (i) > (ii) > (iii) > (iv)

Boiling point of the given compounds decreases in the following order as when molecular weight decreases magnitude of Van der Waal's forces also decreases so boiling point also decreases.

C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} C H_{2} Cl > C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} Cl > C H_{3} C H_{2} Cl > C H_{3} Cl

Q. Arrange the following compounds in decreasing order of their boiling points (i) CH3​Cl (ii) CH3​CH2​Cl (iii) CH3​CH2​CH2​Cl (iv) CH3​CH2​CH2​CH2​Cl

(iii) > (iv) > (i) > (ii)

(iv) > (iii) > (ii) > (i)

(i) > (iii) > (ii) > (iv)

(i) > (ii) > (iii) > (iv)

Boiling point of the given compounds decreases in the following order as when molecular weight decreases magnitude of Van der Waal's forces also decreases so boiling point also decreases. CH3​CH2​CH2​CH2​Cl>CH3​CH2​CH2​Cl>CH3​CH2​Cl>CH3​Cl
