Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The boiling points of molecular compounds generally increase with increasing molecular weight due to stronger London dispersion forces. HI has the highest molecular weight among the given compounds, followed by I2, and then Cl2, making the correct order I2, Cl2, HI.
