Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: To rank the given compounds in order of increasing melting point.
Concept introduction: The melting point depends on the strength of intermolecular forces and symmetry of the molecule. That is stronger the intermolecular forces higher is the melting point and more symmetrical molecules has higher symmetry.
(b)
