1.	Haloalkanes have higher boiling point and melting point than the parent alkane. Justify this statement.
Answer» SOLUTION :Haloalkanes have higher BOILING point than the parent alkane having the same number of CARBON atoms because the intermolecular FORCES of attraction and dipole-dipole interactions are COMPARATIVELY stronger in haloalkanes.
