Interpretation:
A reasonable explanation is to be provided for each of the listed observations.
Concept introduction:
Boiling point of a compound depends on the strength of intermolecular forces between its molecules. Stronger the intermolecular forces, higher the boiling point.
The strength of different types of intermolecular forces in covalent compounds varies as
Addition to a planar
Quaternary ammonium hydoxides undergo
Primary
Primary carbocation can undergo rearrangement if it results in a more stable secondary or tertiary carbocation.
