Question
Assertion (A): Boiling point of alkyl halides increases with an increase in molecular weight.
Reason (R): Boiling point of alkyl halides is in the order RI > RB > RCI > RF.

Answer

(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: The greater the molecular mass, the stronger the van der Waals' forces of attraction and hence higher is the melting point/boiling point.
