Which among the following has lowest boiling point?

  1. A Chloromethane
  2. B Fluoromethane
  3. C Bromomethane
  4. D Iodomethane
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Fluoromethane

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Boiling points (B.P.) of the halogen derivatives depends upon the molecular size. In given case, all compounds contain only one carbon atom, thus B.P. depends upon size of halogen present. As F has lowest size, so fluoromethane will have lowest B.P.
