Question
Arrange the following to the increasing order of boiling point
(i)

(ii) CH3CHCH2CH3
(iii) CH3CH2CH2CH2Br
(iv) (CH3)3 C—Cl
Solution
The boiling point haloalkanes decrease with increase in branching. Therefore the increasing order of boiling point is,
(iv) < (i) < (ii) < (iii).
(iv) < (i) < (ii) < (iii).
