Which one of the following derivatives of ethane has the highest boiling point? A)C₂Br₆ B)C₂F₆ C)C₂I₆ D)C₂Cl₆ E)C₂H₆

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Boiling point increases with increasing molecular weight and intermolecular forces. Among the given options, C2I6 has the highest molecular weight and strongest intermolecular forces (van der Waals forces) due to the presence of iodine atoms. Therefore, C2I6 has the highest boiling point.
