Question

why methyl iodide is liquid at roo. temperature??​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

C H X 3 C l is not chloroform but methyl chloride or chloromethane. It is a gas at room temperature with a boiling point ϑ b = − 23.8 ∘ C . Chloroform, which is indeed a liquid at room temperature ( ϑ b = 61.2 ∘ C ) is C H C l X 3 or trichloromethane

Answer 2

Methyl iodide is a liquid at room temperature because it is a polar molecule. Polar molecules have a partial positive charge on one end and a partial negative charge on the other end. This means that the molecule is attracted to water.
