  1. Question 1

    Q1. The boiling point of CH3CH2Cl is lower than that of CH3CH2I because

    • A) of lower molecular weight
    • B) of weaker London dispersion forces
    • C) both A and B
    • D) none of these

    Answer: both A and B

    Explanation: CH3CH2Cl has lower molecular weight and weaker London dispersion forces compared to CH3CH2I, resulting in a lower boiling point.
