NEET Chemistry Physical Properties of Organic Compounds MCQ Question
Which is the correct increasing order of boiling points of the following compounds?¹⁻iodobutane,¹⁻bromobutane,¹⁻chlorobutane, Butane
Butane <¹⁻chlorobutane <¹⁻bromobutane <¹⁻iodobutane
¹⁻iodobutane <¹⁻bromobutane <¹⁻chlorobutane < Buiane
Butane <¹⁻iodobutane <¹⁻bromobutane <¹⁻chlorobutane
¹⁻iodobutane <¹⁻chlorobutane <¹⁻bromobutane < Butane
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The boiling points of halogenated hydrocarbons increase with the size and mass of the halogen atom due to increased van der Waals forces.
