Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The following compounds should be arranged in increasing order of boiling point.

  ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{I, CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{Cl, CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{F}$

Concept Introduction:

The compounds in which hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by halogen is known as alkyl halide.

The temperature at which pressure exerted by the surroundings is equal to the pressure exerted by the vapor is known as boiling point.
