If chloromethane has a boiling point of 250K, what will be the probable boiling point of methane?(a) 110K(b) 250K(c) 275K(d) 315KI got this question in an internship interview.My question is based upon Haloarenes Physical Properties in portion Haloalkanes and Haloarenes of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Correct option is (a) 110K

Easiest explanation: Haloalkanes are POLAR in NATURE and have higher intermolecular forces of attraction in TERMS of dipole-dipole and van der Waal forces. Hence, the boiling POINTS of haloalkanes are higher than their respective HYDROCARBONS.
