Which is the correct increasing order of boiling points of the following compounds?

1-Bromoethane, 1-Bromopropane, 1-Bromobutane, Bromobenzene

(i) Bromobenzene < 1-Bromobutane < 1-Bromopropane < 1-Bromoethane

(ii) Bromobenzene < 1-Bromoethane < 1-Bromopropane < 1-Bromobutane

(iii) 1-Bromopropane < 1-Bromobutane < 1-Bromoethane < Bromobenzene

(iv) 1-Bromoethane < 1-Bromopropane < 1-Bromobutane < Bromobenzene

<p><span data-teams="true">This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar</span></p><p>The Correct Answer is Option (iv).</p><p>If the halogen atom in all of the supplied alkyl halides is the same kind, the boiling point of a compound rises as the number of alkyl groups added increases. As the quantity and size of molecules and electrons grow, so do their attractions. As a result, the greater the boiling point, the larger the molecular weight of the alkyl halide. The boiling points of the following compounds are listed in ascending order: 1-Bromoethane 1-Bromopropane 1-Bromobutane Bromobenzene The right answer is (iv).</p>
