HCL has a higher boiling point compared to HBr

This is due to difference in electronegativity.

H - 2.1

Cl - 3.0

Br - 2.8

The difference for HCl is 0.9, the difference for HBr is 0.7.

The larger the difference in electronegavity means the stronger the bond. Large difference means greater attraction hence more energy is needed to overcome this bond.

Which has the higher boiling point Br2 or icl?

Yes, because BrBr2 is ionically bonded, while the Br2O is covalently (molecularly) bonded. Ionic bonds are stronger than covalent (molecular) bonds. This means that BeBr2 has stronger attraction between molecules and it will take more energy (heat) to "unstick them" into the gas phase. Because there is more heat needed to get BeBr2 boiling, it has a higher boiling point.


When is Br2 a gas?

Bromine (Br2) is a liquid at room temperature and pressure. It can be converted to a gas by heating it above its boiling point of 58.8°C.


What would be the distance between nuclei of a bromine molecule (Br2)?

The distance between nuclei of a bromine molecule (Br2) is approximately 228 picometers (pm). This distance is based on experimental measurements of the bond length in the Br2 molecule.


What state is br2 in at room temp?

What molecule has the highest vapor pressure Br2 H2O NCl3?

Among the given molecules, bromine (Br2) has the highest vapor pressure due to its relatively low boiling point and weak intermolecular forces between its molecules. Water (H2O) has a lower vapor pressure compared to bromine because of its stronger hydrogen bonding. Nitrogen trichloride (NCl3) has the lowest vapor pressure since it is a polar molecule with stronger intermolecular forces compared to the other two molecules.


How can you determine the chemical formula of the product is soild liquid or gas at room temperature for bromine?

Bromine (Br2) is liquid at room temperature, because it boiling point at normal pressure is 58.8 °C (higher) and its freezing point is -7.2 °C (which is lower than room temperature).


What is the oxidation number of Br2?

Each Br atom has an oxidation number of zero.


Is Br2 an atom or molecule?

A molecule as it consists of two bromine atoms. Bromine is usually found in it's diatomic state because it is unstable alone.


What is the bond order of Br2?

The bonding order of bromine molecule is one.


What is the difference between 2Br and Br2?

2Br is two separate bromine atoms. Br2 is a bromine molecule, consisting of two bromine atoms bonded together.
