MCQ
Assertion (A): Fluoride has the lowest and iodide has the highest boiling point.
Reason (R): Boiling points of haloalkanes increases with increasing atomic mass.
  • Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  • B
    Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  • C
    A is true but R is false.
  • D
    A is false but R is true.

Answer

Correct option: A.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A .
Explanation: For a given halogen the boiling point rises with increasing atomic mass of the halogen, so that fluoride has the lowest boiling point and iodide has the highest boiling point.
