Explanation:
Chloromethane is a lower haloalkane and exists as a gas at room temperature.
2. What is the physical state of bromoethane at room temperature?
A. Gas
B. Liquid
C. Solid
D. Plasma
Correct Answer:
Liquid
Explanation:

3. As the carbon chain length of haloalkanes increases, their physical state generally changes from gases to:
A. Liquids and then solids
B. Solids and then gases
C. Only gases
D. Only solids
Correct Answer:
Liquids and then solids
Explanation:
Higher haloalkanes generally have higher boiling points, so their physical state changes from gases to liquids and eventually solids.

9. Which physical state is generally associated with higher haloalkanes?
A. Gas only
B. Liquid or solid
C. Plasma only
D. Gas and plasma only
Correct Answer:
Liquid or solid
Explanation:
Higher haloalkanes generally occur as liquids or solids because their boiling points increase with increasing molecular size.
