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 intermolecular forces.
1-Chloro-2,2-dimethyl propane has weakest inter molecular forces due to smallest surface area, with spherical symmetry.
