  3. C (B), (C), (A), (D)
  4. D (A), (C), (B), (D)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (D), (C), (B), (A)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Boiling points increase with increasing molecular weight and stronger intermolecular forces. Order of molecular weight: Butane (\(58.12 \text{ g/mol}\)) Butane is nonpolar. Alkyl halides are polar and have stronger dipole-dipole interactions in addition to London dispersion…
