Arrange the following in order of increasing boiling point and in order of increasing vapor pressure. Identify the dominant force in each and explain your reasoning. Ne, Xe, F2, HI, HF, RbF, RbI, AlN (aluminum nitride).
Arrange the following in order of increasing boiling point and in order of increasing vapor pressure. Identify the dominant force in each and explain your reasoning.
Ne, Xe, F2, HI, HF, RbF, RbI, AlN (aluminum nitride).
Different type of elements and compounds have different type of intermolecular forces, based on these forces and interactions they exist in different Physical states and show different Physical properties.
(1) Ne -
Neon is an inert gas , which exists as monoatomic gas and possess weak Vander Waal's forces. It's boiling point is -246°C.
(2) Xe -
Xenon is also an inert gas, exist due to Vander Waal's forces. It's boiling point is -108°C.
(3) F2 -
It is diatomic Molecule with boiling point of -188°C. It also contain Vander Waal's forces.
