Arrange the following haloalkanesin the increasing order of density.Justify your answer.
CCl4 ,CH2Cl3, CHCl3
The density order is
CCl4 > CHCl3 > CH2Cl2
The reason is CCl4 has zero dipole moment and it shows it has symmetrical arrangement. Lesser the dipole, more compact arrangement will be there resulting in more density.
CCl4 > CHCl3 > CH2Cl2
