Which of the following statements is correct about the liquid of these compounds? a. The boiling point of SeCl2 is higher than GeCl4 because SeCl2 has stronger dipole-dipole interactions than GeCl4 has.  b. Based on the information here, GeCl4 has a greater viscosity than SeCl2 at 25 oC.  c. The only intermolecular forces in SeCl2 liquid is London dispersion forces.  d. All three compounds have dipole-dipole interactions in their liquid.  e. The GeCl4 has a higher boiling point than PCl3 because GeCl4 has stronger dipole-dipole interactions than PCl3 has
