Arrange each set of compounds, in the order of increasing boiling points.
(i) Bromomethane, Bromoform, Chloromethane, Dibromomethane

Open in App

Solution

Since boiling points increase with increasing molecular mass due to the greater magnitude of Van der Waal's forces of attraction, the boiling points of these compounds increase in the order:

Chloromethane < bromomethane < dibromomethane < bromoform.
