Chapter 10, Problem 10.114AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The change in boiling point of halogens in the progression of ${\text{F}}_2\text{,}{\text{Cl}}_2\text{,}{\text{Br}}_{\text{2}},{\text{I}}_2$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Halogens are non-polar and that so they only have weak London dispersion forces. These weak London forces increases down the group in periodic table.

To determine: The change in boiling point of halogens in the progression of ${\text{F}}_2\text{,}{\text{Cl}}_2\text{,}{\text{Br}}_{\text{2}},{\text{I}}_2$.
