It will raise the boiling point. This why, for example, car radiators have a pressure cap. This causes a rise in the boiling point of the water and it is less likely to boil.
Gallium has a boiling point of 93°ish F. But mercury is way lower than that. It's a liquid at room temperature.
Iodine melting point is above room temperature because its vapor pressure is less than one atmosphere.
Iodine is lower in the halogen displacement series than bromine, i.e., iodine is less electronegative than bromine. However both chlorine and fluorine can displace bromine in sodium bromide, as they are more electronegative.
A low boiling point one would be better as it will use less heat and release Co2 into the air. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twitter @TrolPie
Yes. It's true. Chlorine has the highest electron affinity, then Fluorine, Bromine and Iodine
There can not be any reason, because the premise is not true: Group 7 elements become less rather than more reactive from fluorine to iodine.
Iodine is very less abundant compared to fluorine and chlorine and it is found in seawater also with chlorides,bromides etc and certain forms of marine life also contain Iodine in their systems.Eg Seaweeds

Iodine was discovered by the French chemist Barnard Courtois in 1811. Iodine is a bluish-black, shiny solid. Although it is less reactive than the elements above it in group 17 (fluorine, chlorine and bromine) it still forms compounds with many other elements. Iodine is a non-metal. It's boiling point is 457 K (184 oC) and melting point is 386.6 K (113.5 oC). Iodine belongs to group 7A ,the Halogens. Belongs to period 5 in the Periodic table. Iodine might be used in its pure form, but most of the times it is not used as a pure iodine.

Its got weak van der waals forces as it is a simple molecule - these intermolecular forces are weak so require less energy to break, leading it to have a low boiling point.

Less than 100 degrees
More or less of a melting and boiling point than what? Water? Iron? Hydrogen? More information needs to be provided before this can be answered.
