K L Chugh Solutions for Chapter: Haloalkanes and Haloarenes, Exercise 3: Follow Up Problems

Arrange the following in decreasing order of their boiling points:

i. ${\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_5\mathrm{Br}$        ii. ${\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_5\mathrm{Cl}$        iii. ${\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_5\mathrm{I}$

Arrange the following in decreasing order of their boiling points:

i. n-butyl chloride      ii. Iso-butyl chloride     iii. tert-butyl chloride

Why the boiling point of ethyl bromide is higher than that of ethyl chloride?

Why the halogen compounds used as solvents in industry are chlorides rather than bromides?

With the help of Cahn-Ingold-Prelog sequence indicate the priority sequence for the following groups.

$-{\mathrm{CH}}_3, -{\mathrm{CH}}_2-{\mathrm{CH}}_3, -\mathrm{CH}{\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\right)}_2, -\mathrm{C}{\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\right)}_3$
