The increasing order of densities of the following alkyl halides is 1. $n-\mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{H}_7 \mathrm{Br}$ II. $n-\mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{H}_7 \mathrm{Cl}$ m. $n-\mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{H}_7 \mathrm{I}$
  1. (II) $ < $ (I) $ < $ (III)
  2. (III) $ < $ (l) $ < $ (II)
  3. (l) $ < $ (II) $ < $ (III)
  4. (III) $ < $ (II) $ < $ (l)

Solution

Density of $ \begin{array}{r} \mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{H}_7 \mathrm{Cl} \longrightarrow 0.89, \mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{H}_7 \mathrm{Br} \longrightarrow 1.335, \\ \mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{H}_7 \mathrm{I} \longrightarrow 1.747 \end{array} $ Thus, the increasing order of densities are $ \mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{H}_7 \mathrm{Cl} < \mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{H}_7 \mathrm{Br} < \mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{H}_7 \mathrm{I}(\mathrm{II} < \mathrm{I} < \mathrm{III}) $ Hence, the correct option is (1)
