Question
100%

Explain why the boiling point of Br2 (59°C) is lower than that of iodine monochloride, ICl (97°C), even though they have nearly the same molar mass.

Choose one:

A.  Br2 is larger than ICl.

B.  The molar mass is not identical: the molar mass of Br2 is only 159.80 g/mol compared to 162.35 g/mol for ICl.

C.  ICl is ionic.

D.  ICl is polar while Br2 is nonpolar.

E.  It is impossible to say without further information.

F.  The molar mass dependence of a liquid's boiling point is not an absolute rule, and it should not be applied to all of the compounds.
