Which of the following compounds has the highest boiling point?
Options
- AChloromethane
- BFluoromethane
- CIodomethane
- DBromomethane
Correct answer
C. Iodomethane
Step-by-step solution
Molecules with higher molecular mass generally have higher boiling points. So, for given alkyl group (here - CH ₃ ) boiling point decreases as, RI > RBr > RCl > RF .
