Q. Which of the following compounds has the highest boiling point ?
A) $CH_{3}\ CH_{2}CH_{2}Cl$
B) $CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}CH_{2}Cl$
C) $CH_{3}CH\left( CH_{3} \right)CH_{2}Cl$
D) $\left( CH_{3} \right)_{3}\ CCl$
Explanation
(b)
Straight chain alkyl halides have greater boiling point than their isomers. Therefore, $CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}CH_{2}Cl$ has highest boiling point.
