Hello Student,
Boiling point increaes with increase in molar mass hence,
Dibromomethane >Bromomethane >Chloromethane >Bromoform

Further, boiling point decreaes with branching hence,
1-Chlorobutane >1-Chloropropane >Isopropyl chloride

hello, as we how boiling incerase as atomic mass increas since the atomic number of Br is high than one of clmening that it arange them selves like

chloromethane

thank you
