As atomic number increases, boiling point/K increases due to there being more electrons, which create a larger strength of negative charge around the nucleus of the atom. This affects the van der waals' forces (the forces of attraction between molecules or atoms), and they become stronger. With stronger forces, it requires more energy input to change the state of the element - resulting in a higher boiling/melting point. [:

What is the relationship between melting point and atomic number for group seven elements?

As you move down Group 7 elements (halogens), the melting point generally increases. This is because the atomic number increases down the group, leading to a greater number of electrons and stronger van der Waals forces between the molecules, resulting in higher melting points.

How does boiling and melting points vary as branching in a hydrocarbon chain increase?

As branching increases, the size of the molecule is more (when compared to its unbranched isomer). Hence there are more number of molecules per unit area / volume. Hence the melting point increases, as branching increases.


Where does argon rank?

The answer depends on what criterion is used for ranking: atomic number, atomic size, atomic mass, electro-positivity or negativity, boiling point, melting point, density at normal temperature and pressure, etc.


Is boiling point an atomic number?

No, boiling point is not related to atomic number. Boiling point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas, while atomic number is the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
