Account for the following observation:
n-propyl chloride boils at a high temperature than methyl chloride.
n- propyl chloride boils at a high temperature than methyl chloride because size of n- propyl chloride is bigger than that of methyl chloride. Hence, greater the size of molecular larger the molecular mass of molecule thus higher the boiling point.
Account for the following observation:
Haloalkanes are denser than the corresponding hydrocarbons.
