The boiling point of ICl is nearly 40°C higher than that of Br₂ although the two substances have the same relative molecular mass. This is because:
A
ICl is ionic compound
B
I–Cl bond is stronger than Br–Br bond
C
ICl is polar covalent molecular while Br₂ is nonpolar
D
Ionization energy of iodine is less than that of Br
Explanation
Polar ICl experiences dipole–dipole attractions in addition to dispersion forces, raising its boiling point.
