Which of the following compounds has the highest boiling point?

A

`CH_3CH_2CH_2Cl`

B

`CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2Cl`

C

`CH_3CH(CH_3)CH_2Cl`

D

`(CH_3)_3C Cl`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
For the same halogen, boiling point of alkyl halide decreases as the size of the alkyl group decreases. For isomeric alkyl halides, boiling point decreases as branching increases. So the decreasing order of boiling point is
`CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2Cl gt CH_3CH_2CH_2Cl gt CH_3CH(CH_3)CH_2Cl gt (CH_3)_3C Cl`.
