Question

Identify the correct increasing order of boiling point of following compounds.

• A. \(\text{CHBr}_3 < \text{CH}_2\text{Br}_2 < \text{CH}_3\text{Br} < \text{CH}_3\text{Cl}\)
• B. \(\text{CH}_3\text{Cl} < \text{CH}_3\text{Br} < \text{CH}_2\text{Br}_2 < \text{CHBr}_3\)
• C. \(\text{CH}_3\text{Br} < \text{CH}_2\text{Br}_2 < \text{CHBr}_3 < \text{CH}_3\text{Cl}\)
• D. \(\text{CH}_2\text{Br}_2 < \text{CHBr}_3 < \text{CH}_3\text{Br} < \text{CH}_3\text{Cl}\)

Hint:

More Br atoms → higher mass → higher boiling point.
