Which among the following has lowest boiling point?

(A)Chloromethane
(B)FluromethaneCorrect
(C)Bromomethane
(D)Iodomethane

Answer: (B)

Solution

For the methyl halides, boiling point rises with the size and polarisability of the halogen because the van der Waals (dispersion) forces and molecular mass increase: (−78 °C) < (−24 °C) < (4
