Question

Both NH3, NCl3, and NF3 are all polar. Here is a data table with some additional information:

Name Melting Point (°C) Boiling Point (°C) Molecular Geometry
Nitrogen trihydride (ammonia) -77.7 -33.3 Trigonal Pyramidal
Nitrogen trichloride -40.0 71.0 Trigonal Pyramidal
Nitrogen trifluoride -207 -129 Trigonal Pyramidal

 

Considering intermolecular forces, for what reason would nitrogen trichloride have such a high boiling point? 

choose one:
1.The molecular geometry makes it the most polar of the compounds
2.The larger mass and larger electron cloud means stronger LDF
3.It can participate in H-bonding
4.Unlike the other substances, it is polar.
5.The small mass means it takes less energy to break the IMF
