Question

The boiling points of alkyl halides are higher than those of corresponding alkanes because of:

• A. dipole-dipole interaction
• B. dipole-induced dipole interaction
• C. hydrogen bonding
• D. none of the above

Hint:

Polarity raises boiling point due to stronger intermolecular forces.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Alkyl halides are polar molecules.
Step 2: Strong dipole-dipole interactions increase boiling point.
