MHT CET 2026 Chemistry question

Which is the correct decreasing order of boiling points for different compounds from following ?

(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)Correct

Answer: (D)

Solution

Boiling points of haloalkanes depend on the strength of intermolecular forces (dipole-dipole and van der Waals/London forces), which increase with molecular mass and size (surface area). Bromine is heavier and more polarisable than chlorine, so (b.p. about 277 K) boils higher than
