Arrange the following in the increasing order of properly indicated :1-chloropropane, isopropyl chloride, 1-chlorobutane (Increasing order of boiling point)
In all the compounds there is a chlorine atom present and the size of the alkyl chain is different. The order will be: Isopropyl chloride < 1- Chloropropane < 1 – Chlorobutane This is due to the fact that as the branching of the chain increases the boiling point will decrease and as the size of the chain increase the boiling point will increase.
