Icl has a higher boiling point than br2. what is the best explanation for this? a. br2 experiences dipole-dipole interactions. b. icl experiences dipole-dipole interactions. c. br2 forms hydrogen bonds. d. icl experiences induced dipole-induced dipole interactions.

The correct option is option B  (ICl experiences dipole- dipole interaction)

Explanation:

Boiling point of each molecule is dependent on type of inter molecular forces between them

There are 3 major kind of inter molecular forces present in molecules namely:

Br2 can only experience induced dipole- induced dipole interaction. Each bromine atom in the molecule has the same electro negativity

ICl can only experience dipole - dipole interaction (Permanent dipole) because there is a little dipole moment between ICl. Cl (chlorine) is more electro negative than I (iodine).

Electro negativity is the ability for a gaseous atom to attract electrons to itself in a covalent bond. Chlorine will attract the shared electrons to it self than iodine.

i'm wiling to try and you : )
