MCQ
Arrange these haloalkanes in correct order of density:
  • $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{I}<\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{I}<\mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{H}_7 \mathrm{I}$
  • B
    $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{I}>\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{I}>\mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{H}_7 \mathrm{I}$
  • C
    $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{I}<\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{I}>\mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{H}_7 \mathrm{I}$
  • D
    $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{I}>\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{I}<\mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{H}_7 \mathrm{I}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{I}<\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{I}<\mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{H}_7 \mathrm{I}$
Haloalkanes are more dense than alkane, from which they are derived and usually more dense than water. Density increases with the number of carbon and halogen atom increases.
