Arrange the following molecules in order of increasing molar enthalpy of vaporization:

CCl_4,SiCl_4,CH_4,SiBr₄

Why is SiBr₄< CCl₄but CCl₄< SiBr₄ ?

I understand that the bond length for CCl₄is stronger than the bond length for SiBr₄so why wouldn't the bond length for SiBr₄be weaker than CCl₄?

Expert Solution

Step 1

This question is related to molar enthalpy of vaporization which can be defined as the amount of energy required to convert one mole of substance from its liquid to vapour state at constant pressure and temperature.
