The compound with highest boiling point isA. `CH_4`B. `CH_3OH`C. `CH_3Cl`D. `CH_3Br` |
Answer» Correct Answer - B Alcohols have higher boiling points than nonpolar hydrocarbon and polar haloalkane of comparable molecular masses, because alcohol molecules are associated thiough intermolecular hydrogen bonding. More the number of alkyl groups attached to the positively charged carbon, more the dispersal of positive charge and therefore, the greater is the stability of the carbonium ion. `CH_3^(+) lt R_2CH^(+) lt R_3C^+` |
