Boiling points of different substances are given belowCH4 = - 16 °CC2H6 = -89 °CCI2 = -34.6 °CF2 = -188 °CThe data shows that vapour pressure of
Correct answer: B. CI2 > F2 > CH4 > C2H6
- A. CI2 > C2H6 > CH4 > F2
- B. CI2 > F2 > CH4 > C2H6
- C. C2H6 > CH4 > F2 > CI2
- D. F2 > CH4 > C2H6 > CI2
Explanation
The boiling points of substances are related to their vapor pressures at a given temperature. In this case, the substances with higher boiling points generally have lower vapor pressures at a given temperature.Given the boiling points:Cl2 (chlorine) has the highest boiling point (-34.6 °C).F2 (fluorine) has the next highest boiling point (-188 °C).CH4 (methane) has a higher boiling point (-161 °C) than C2H6 (ethane) (-89 °C).Therefore, the correct order of vapor pressures from lowest to highest is Cl2 > F2 > CH4 > C2H6, leading to option b.

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
