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.

HBr and HCl are both polar have similar dipole-dipople forces. This can be determined by looking at their electronegativities.

Now, you need to determine their London Dispersion Forces- HBr is bigger than HCl (it is lower on the Periodic Table), so it has much more dispersion force.

Br2 because it is a larger atom than Cl making the Intermolecular forces larger for Br2.

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.
