Detailed Solution

Alkyl halides and haloalkanes are generated when hydrogen atoms in an aliphatic hydrocarbon are replaced by halogen atoms (Fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine).
The density of alkyl halides decreases as $RI > RBr > RCl > RF$ and shows stability in the order $RF > RCl > RBr > RI$ . Among the isomeric alkyl halide the decrease in boiling point is in the order of $1^{°} > 2^{°} > 3^{°}$ .
