Which has the higher boiling point Br2 or icl?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Both are diatomic and symmetrical molecules, so the greatest intermolecular force in both is dispersion or London forces. I2 has a greater surface area than Br2, so dispersion forces are much greater in I2 (as there is a greater likelihood for momentary dipoles or other weak, momentary interactions). It therefore takes takes a greater amount of energy (or higher boiling point) in I2 to break the interactions between molecules than in B2.

Answer 3

Iodine monochloride (ICl) has the higher boiling point mainly because of dipole-dipole interactions between the molecules that Br2 lacks.

Answer 4

Bromine has higher boiling point than Fluorine, in halogens family boiling point increases down the group due to molecular nature and increase in Vander waal's forces.

Answer 5

Because bromine has weaker intermolecular forces and as a result a lower boiling point. The lower the boiling point the higher the vapor pressure

Answer 6

Potassium chloride, KCl, has a tremendously higher boiling point than bromine, Br2.

br2

Answer 8

NaI

Answer 9

IBr
