NEET Chemistry (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 12

Which of the following statements about haloalkanes is correct?

A

Boiling point increases with increasing molecular mass.

B

Tertiary haloalkanes react faster than secondary haloalkanes.

C

Isopropylchloride has a higher boiling point than 1-Chloropropane.

D

The carbon-halogen bond is non-polar due to electronegativity differences.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The boiling point of haloalkanes does increase with increasing molecular mass, as noted in the NCERT context. Tertiary haloalkanes typically react slower than secondary due to steric hindrance, while isopropylchloride has a lower boiling point than 1-Chloropropane due to its branched structure.
