Question - Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their boiling points.
I. CH3CH2CH2Br
II. CH3CH2CH2CH2Br
III.(CH3)2CHCH2Br
IV. (CH3)3CBr
Options:
A .  II
B .  III
C .  IV
D .  I
Answer: Option D
:
D
Boiling points increases as the number of carbon atoms increases in the alkyl halides. Therefore the B.P of II, III and IV with four carbon atoms is higher than that of I with three carbon atoms. Further, the B.P decreases with the number of branches. Thus the B.P of the four alkyl halides increases in the order I< IV< III< II.
