Moving from primary to tertaiary alkane the boiling pint decreases. Why? |
|
Answer» Haloalkanes generally have a boiling point that is higher than the alkane they are derived from. This is due to the INCREASED molecular weight due to the large HALOGEN atoms and the increased intermolecular forces due to the polar bonds, and the increasing polarizabilty of the halogen.Thanks for the QUESTION. Hope it helps you. |
