At ordinary temperature and pressure, among halogens, the chlorine is a gas, bromine is a liquid and iodine is a solid. This is because:

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Intermolecular forces among molecules of chlorine are the weakest and those in iodine are the strongest

Option B is correct because the strength of intermolecular forces increases down the halogen group, leading to chlorine being a gas, bromine a liquid, and iodine a solid.

If for the gases, the critical temperatures are mentioned below i.e.

\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccccc} {\underline {{\text{Gas}}} }&{\underline {\,{\text{Critical}}\,\,{\text{temperature}}} } \\ {\text{A}}&{{T_{{C_1}}}} \\ {\text{B}}&{{T_{{C_2}}}} \\ {\text{C}}&{{T_{{C_3}}}} \\ {\text{D}}&{{T_{{C_4}}}} \end{array}

{T_{{C_1}}} > {T_{{C_2}}} > {T_{{C_3}}} > {T_{{C_4}}}
