A compound is a pure substance made up of two or more different atoms joined by chemical bonds. Consider the composition of the air in Earth’s atmosphere. Which of the components of air is a compound? (Hint: refer back to your elements notes) How do you know?

Carbon dioxide is a compound

Explanation:

It is formed by chemical combination of carbon and oxygen atoms

hurricanes form in warm water

hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only hydrogens and carbons. they can be saturated (those which contain only carbon-carbon single bonds) or unsaturated (those which contain carbon-carbon double or triple bonds) in nature. hydrocarbons can undergo several reactions like substitution, elimination etc.  

on substituting one or more hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbon it results in the formation of haloalkane. as the halogen atoms are large compared to the carbon and hydrogen atoms, due to which the molecular weight increases and the bond become polar because of presence electronegative halogen atom and results in the increase in boiling point of the haloalkane.

thus, the correct option is (b) that is the boiling point of the new compound increases on substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon.
