KCET2015ChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
The arrangement of following compounds : i. bromomethane ii. bromofonn iii. chloromethane iv. dibromomethane In the increasing order of their boiling point is
Options
- Aiii ( < i < i v < i )
- Biv ( < iii < i < i )
- C( ii < iii < i < iv )
- D( i < ii < iii < iv )
Correct answer
A. iii ( < i < i v < i )
Step-by-step solution
The intermolecular forces of attraction become stronger with the increase in size of the molecules. Hence, the order of boiling points will be ( CH ₃ Cl < CH ₃ Br < CH ₃ Br ₂ < CH Br ₃ )
