1.	Give reason for the following. n-butyl bromide has higher bolling point than t-butyl bromide.
Answer» Solution :For ISOMERIC alkyl halides, the boiling POINT decreases with branching, because with branching the surface area of the alkyl halide decreases and HENCE the magnitude of vander waal's FORCES of attraction decreases. `therefore`The B.P of n -Butyl BROMIDE `gt`t-Butyl bromide.
