Which of the following has the highest normal boiling point?

A.iodobenzene✓ Correct
B.bromobenzene
C.chlorobenzene
D.fluorobenzene
Explanation

There is an increase in boiling point as we move from chloride to a bromide to an iodide (for a given number of carbon atoms) is because of the increase in the number of electrons leading to larger dispersion forces. Hence, the maximum boiling point will be of iodobenzene.
