engineering chemistry MCQ #762

  1. Question 1

    Q1. The boiling point of CH₃Cl is lower than CH₃Br because

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

    Answer: both A and B

    Explanation: Lower molecular weight and weaker intermolecular forces (due to lower polarizability) result in lower boiling point.
