26. Which compound, chloroacetic acid or iodoacetic acid, most likely has the lower boiling point, and
why?
(A) Chloroacetic acid, because the London
dispersion forces among its molecules are
weaker
(B) Chloroacetic acid, because the dipole-dipole
forces among its molecules are weaker.
(C) Iodoacetic acid, because the London
dispersion forces among its molecules are
stronger.
(D) Iodoacetic acid, because the dipole-dipole
forces among its molecules are stronger.
