Question

Arrange the following compounds in decreasing order of their boiling points ( i ) C H 3 B r ( i i ) C H 3 C H 2 B r ( i i i ) C H 3 C H 2 C H 2 B r ( i v ) C H 3 C H 2 C H 2 C H 2 B r

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Boiling point of the given compounds decreases in the following order as molecular weight decreases magnitude of Van der Waal's forces also decreases.
$C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} C H_{2} B r > C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} B r > C H_{3} C H_{2} B r > C H_{3} B r$
