Question

3. Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their melting points; 1-Bromobutane, 2-Bromobutane and 2-Bromo-2-methylpropane

Answer 1

Answer:

2 BROMO-2METHYLPROPANE < 2BROMOBUTANE < 1-BROMOBUTANE

Explanation:

*RULE=. AS BRANCHING INCREASES MELTING AND BOILING POINT DECREASES*

to remember this

remember....... it is easier to eat ie.break a small biscuit than a bigger one.....

hence it is easier to break the bonds between molecules of lesser surface area than larger ones..

hope u Neva forget

HENCE ------

2 BROMO-2METHYLPROPANE < 2BROMOBUTANE < 1-BROMOBUTANE
