Which isomer of `C_5 H_(11) Cl` has the highest boiling point and which has the least boiling point ? Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

1-Chloropentane has the highest boiling point whereas 1-Chloro-2, 2-dimethylpropane has the least boiling point. 1-Chloropentane is the unbranched chain isomer with strongest interparticle forces. 1-Chloro-2, 2-dimethyl propane has weakest inter particle forces due to smallest surface area with spherical symmetry.
