secret the incorrect statement(s).
A
Boiling point of 
is larger than that of 
due to dipole-dipole interactions.
is larger than that of due to dipole-dipole interactions. B
Boiling point of 
(molecular weight 142) is larger than that of 
(molecular weight 142 ) due to greater van der Waals' contact area.
(molecular weight 142) is larger than that of (molecular weight 142 ) due to greater van der Waals' contact area. C
As branching in alkane increases, boiling point decreases due to dipole-dipole interactions.
D
As branching in alkane increases, boiling point decreases due to decreased surface area for intermolecular attraction.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Among the given statements, is incorrect. It's corrected form will be: As the branching in alkane increases the boiling point decreases due to decrease in vander Waals' forces.
