Chapter 9, Problem 9.57AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structures of three alkyl halides, each with the formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{7}}{\text{H}}_{\text{15}}\text{Br}$, having different boiling points are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The alkyl halides on reaction with metal Mg gives back a organometallic product known as Grignard reagent. This reagent is very sensitive to moisture and reacts violently to give back alkane as a product.

Boiling point of compounds depends on the intermolecular forces of attraction among the molecules of compounds.
