Question

The boiling point of three compounds are given below.

                         GeCl4           PCl3             SeCl2

Boiling point    83.1oC        76.6 oC         127 oC  

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.
