Q.28 The boiling points of Iodomethane, Dibromomethane, Bromomethane, Chloromethane follow the order
The boiling points of Iodomethane, Dibromomethane, Bromomethane, Chloromethane follow the order
(A) Bromomethane > Dibromomethane > Iodomethane > Chloromethane
(B) Bromomethane > Iodomethane > Chloromethane > Dibromomethane
(C) Dibromomethane > Iodomethane > Bromomethane > Chloromethane
(D) Iodomethane > Bromomethane > Chloromethane > Dibromomethane
Answer
Answer: (C) Dibromomethane > Iodomethane > Bromomethane > Chloromethane
Explanation: The boiling points increase with molecular weight due to stronger van der Waals forces.
