Molecular size of ICl\mathrm{ICl} and Br2\mathrm{B}{\mathrm{r}_2} is nearly same, but boiling point of ICl\mathrm{ICl} is about 40∘C40^\circ C higher than Br2\mathrm{B}{\mathrm{r}_2}. This might be due to:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
ICl\mathrm{ICl} is polar where as Br2\mathrm{B}{\mathrm{r}_2} 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.
