Which isomer of C_5 H_(11)Cl has the highest boiling point and which has the least boiling point ? Explain.

Answer»

Solution :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.
