  1. A \(\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{CCH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{Cl}\)
  2. B \(\left(\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{C}\right)_2 \mathrm{CHCH}{ }_2 \mathrm{Cl}\)
  3. C \[ \text { }\left(\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{C}\right)_3 \mathrm{CCl} \]
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{CCH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{Cl}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{CCH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{Cl}\) For isomeric alkyl halides, the boiling points decreases with branching. Branching of the chain makes the molecule more compact and therefore, the surface area decreases. Hence, the intermolecular attractive…
