MCQ
Which of the following statement $(s)$ is/are not correct?
  • A
    Alkanes are non polar in nature.
  • B
    Alkanes are soluble in non $-$ polar solvents.
  • Straight chain alkanes have lesser boiling point than corresponding branched chain isomers.
  • D
    Alkanes exhibit alternations in melting point.

Answer

Correct option: C.
Straight chain alkanes have lesser boiling point than corresponding branched chain isomers.
Alkanes are made of $C$ and $H$ only, so, they are non polar in nature and also due to non polar nature they dissolved in non polar solvent only.
Branched alkanes have lower boiling point than straight $-$ chain alkanes.
Melting point increases with increase in mass.
