MCQ
Which of the following has highest boiling point?
  • C2H5-I
  • B
    C2H5-F
  • C
    C2H5-CI
  • D
    C2H5-Br

Answer

Correct option: A.
C2H5-I
(a) C2H5-I
Explanation: For the same alkyl group the boiling points of haloalkanes are in the order of RF < RCI < RBr < RI as with the increase in size of halogen atom the magnitude of van der Waals forces of attraction increases, resulting in higher boiling points.
