Question

List the following alkyl halides in order of increasing boilingpoint (lowest to highest):
CH3CH2Br, CH3CH2CH2Br, (CH3)2CHBr, CH3CH2F
I figured that the highest Boiling Point was CH3CH2CH2Br dueto the long chain being harder to break apart than a more branchedone, however I didn't understand where the others fit in.Thanks
CH3CH2Br, CH3CH2CH2Br, (CH3)2CHBr, CH3CH2F
I figured that the highest Boiling Point was CH3CH2CH2Br dueto the long chain being harder to break apart than a more branchedone, however I didn't understand where the others fit in.Thanks

Explanation / Answer

           The increasing order of boiling points for the given alkyl halidesis         CH3CH2F <    CH3CH2Br   <  (CH3)2CHBr < CH3CH2CH2Br .
