Question

Which of the following statements is/are best suited for the following figure? (A) The attraction gets stronger as molecules get bigger in size (B) The boiling point of alkyl halide is in order of R I >R Br >R Cl >R F (C) Magnitude of van der Waals' forces increases as mass of halogen atom increases (D) All of the above

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Due to the increase in size and mass of halogen atom, attraction among the molecules get stronger and the magnitude of van der Waals' forces increases. As a result of this, the boiling point of alkyl halide can be arranged as, RI >R Br >R Cl >R F.

Q. Which of the following statements is/are best suited for the following figure?

The attraction gets stronger as molecules get bigger in size

The boiling point of alkyl halide is in order of $R I > RB r > RCl > RF$

Magnitude of van der Waals' forces increases as mass of halogen atom increases

All of the above

Due to the increase in size and mass of halogen atom, attraction among the molecules get stronger and the magnitude of van der Waals' forces increases. As a result of this, the boiling point of alkyl halide can be arranged as, $R I > RB r > RCl > RF$ .
