Analyzing +4 | -1
Assertion (A): The boiling points of alkyl halides decrease in the order:
RI>RBr>RCI>RFRI > {R B r} > {R C I} > {R F}.

Reason (R): The boiling points of alkyl chlorides, bromides and iodides are considerably higher than that of the hydrocarbon of comparable molecular mass.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Both A and R are correct; R is not the correct explanation of A
Option B (Both A and R are correct; R is not the correct explanation of A) is correct because both the boiling point trend of alkyl halides and the higher boiling points compared to comparable hydrocarbons are true, but the latter doesn't explain the former.
