Question

Nitroalkanes have much higher boiling point than alkyl nitrites because nitroalkanes are : (a) Nitrogroup is an electrophile
(b) More polar
(c) Undergo pressure resonating group
(d) None of the above​

Answer 1

Answer:

    (b) More polar

Explanation:

Nitro alkanes are sparingly soluble in water, are highly polar with strong dipole – dipole interactions due to which they have high boiling points.
