In the PhET simulation, make sure that the checkbox Stable/Unstable in the bottom right is checked. Using the PhET simulation as a reference, determine whether the following combinations of protons and neutrons form stable or unstable nuclei by adding protons and neutrons to the nucleus. Unstable nuclei will shake. If the Stable/Unstable checkbox in the lower right is also checked, the nuclei will be labeled Stable or Unstable. Sort the following combinations of protons and neutrons according to whether or not they form stable or unstable nuclei.

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.
