Which of the following statements is correct about the liquid of these compounds? a. The boiling point of SeCl2 is higher than GeCl4 because SeCl2 has stronger dipole-dipole interactions than GeCl4 has. b. Based on the information here, GeCl4 has a greater viscosity than SeCl2 at 25 oC. c. The only intermolecular forces in SeCl2 liquid is London dispersion forces. d. All three compounds have dipole-dipole interactions in their liquid. e. The GeCl4 has a higher boiling point than PCl3 because GeCl4 has stronger dipole-dipole interactions than PCl3 has
The boiling point of three compounds are given below.
GeCl4 PCl3 SeCl2
Boiling point 83.1oC 76.6 oC 127 oC
