Question

Arrange the set of compounds in order of increasing boiling points.

1-Chloropropane, Isopropyl chloride, 1-Chlorobutane.

Short Answer

Solution

Molecules with the same mass have different boiling points based on their size. Branched compounds have a lower boiling point than straight-chain compounds due to their smaller surface area and compact structure. The order of boiling points is:

Isopropyl chloride < 1-Chloropropane < 1-Chlorobutane
