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.
  • C
    Straight chain alkanes have lesser boiling point than corresponding branched chain isomers.
  • D
    Alkanes exhibit alternations in melting point.

Answer

  1. Straight chain alkanes have lesser boiling point than corresponding branched chain isomers.

Explanation:

Alkanes are made of C & 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.

Given below are two statements:

Statement $I$ : The boiling point of three isomeric pentanes follows the order

n-pentane $>$ isopentane $>$ neopentane

Statement $II$ : When branching increases, the molecule attains a shape of sphere. This results in smaller surface area for contact, due to which the intermolecular forces between the spherical molecules are weak, thereby lowering the boiling point.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
