Question

Arrange Cl₂,ICl,and Br₂ in order from lowest to highest boiling point. A) Cl₂ < Br₂ < ICl B) Cl₂ < ICl < Br₂ C) ICl < Cl₂ < Br₂ D) Br₂ < Cl₂ < ICl E) Br₂ < ICl < Cl₂

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Boiling points increase with molecular weight and polarity. Cl2 and Br2 are nonpolar and their boiling points increase with molecular weight (Cl2 < Br2). ICl is polar and has a higher boiling point than both.
