The boiling points of Iodomethane, Dibromomethane, Bromomethane, Chloromethane follow the order
- Bromomethane > Dibromomethane > Iodomethane > Chloromethane
- Bromomethane > Iodomethane > Chloromethane > Dibromomethane
- Dibromomethane > Iodomethane > Bromomethane > Chloromethane
- Iodomethane > Bromomethane > Chloromethane > Dibromomethane
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Boiling points depend on molecular weight and intermolecular forces. Dibromomethane has the highest boiling point due to its greater molecular weight and polarity compared to the others.
Top Questions on Alkanes

Questions Asked in IIT JAM BT exam
The vector, shown in the figure, has promoter and RBS sequences in the 300 bp region between the restriction sites for enzymes X and Y. There are no other sites for X and Y in the vector. The promoter is directed towards the Y site. The insert containing only an ORF provides 3 fragments after digestion with both enzymes X and Y. The ORF is cloned in the correct orientation in the vector using the single restriction enzyme Y. The size of the largest fragment of the recombinant plasmid expressing the ORF upon digestion with enzyme X is ........... bp. (answer in integer)
