Which of the following compounds has the highest boiling point ?

A

`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)Cl`

B

`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)Cl`

C

`CH_(3)CH(CH_(3))CH_(2)Cl`

D

`(CH_(3))_(3)"CCl"`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Straight chain alkyl halides have greater boiling point than their isomers. This is due to the reason that with branching, the surface area of the alkyl halide decreases and hence the magnitude of the van der Waal's force of attraction decreases. Therefore, `CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)Cl` has highest boiling point.
