Bromine (Br2) and the interhalogen ICI have almost identical molecular weights, yet ICI boils at a temperature 38°C higher than does bromine. The best explanation is that A. the dispersion forces in ICl are much stronger than in Br2 B. the bond in the ICI molecule is stronger than that in Br2 C. ICI is a polar molecule; Br2 is nonpolar D. the bond length in the Br2 molecule is greater than that in ICI O A O D B
