  2. B \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{Cl}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}(\mathrm{Cl}) \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_3\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{Cl}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}(\mathrm{Cl}) \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Boiling point \(\propto\) molecular weight
\(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}(\mathrm{Cl}) \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_3\) have highest M.W.
