Students conducted an experiment to determine the relative reactivity of lithium, magnesium, and zinc metal. They placed a small amount of each metal into separate
beakers of water at room temperature. Choose the order that ranks these metals
according to their relative reactivity with H20, from most reactive to least reactive.
O Li, Mg, Zn
O Li, Zn, Mg

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.
