Molecular size of and is nearly same, but boiling point of is about higher than . This might be due to:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
is polar where as is non-polar
Option C is correct because the higher boiling point of ICl compared to Br2 is due to the dipole-dipole interactions present in polar ICl molecules, which are absent in non-polar Br2 molecules.
