Assertion (A) : Boiling points of alkyl ...

Assertion (A) : Boiling points of alkyl halides decrease in the order: RI > RBr > RCI > RF.
Reason (R) : The boiling points of alkyl chlorides, bromides and iodides are considerably highter than that of the hydrocarbon of comparable molecular mass.

A

(A) and (R) both are correct statement and (R) is correct explanation for (A)

B

(A) and (R) both are correct statement but (R) is not correct explanation for (A)

C

(A) is correct statement but (R) is wrong statement.

D

(A) is wrong statement but (R) is correct statement.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Hint: For alkyl halides containing the same alkyl group, the boiling points decrease as the atomic mass of the halogen decreases.
