Which of the following compounds has lowest boiling point?
Options
- AChloromethane
- BFluoromethane
- CIodomethane
- DBromomethane
Correct answer
B. Fluoromethane
Step-by-step solution
For a given alkyl group, the boiling point increases with increasing atomic mass of halogen. Hence, boiling point of the given alkyl halides decreases in the order: CH ₃ I > CH ₃ Br > CH ₃ Cl > CH ₃ ~F
