    Properties of molecular substances in relation to structure


    18. The boiling points of HCl, HBr and HI are, respectively, – 85°C, – 67°C and – 35°C. Explain the difference in these boiling
    points with reference to the forces that exist between the molecules of each substance.

    19. N2 has 14 electrons and Cl2 has 34 electrons. Predict which of these substances would have the higher boiling point. Justify
    your answer in terms of intermolecular forces.

    20. Two noble gases, helium and argon, have boiling points of –269°C and –186°C respectively. Explain the large difference in
    their boiling points.

    21. Both Kr (boiling point –152°C) and HBr (boiling point –67°C) have the same number of electrons. Explain what factors could
    affect intermolecular forces to cause the difference in boiling points between Kr and HBr.

    22. HCl has more electrons than HF so we would expect it to have the higher boiling point. However, this is not the case, as the
    boiling points of HCl and HF are –83.7°C and 19.4°C respectively. Explain what factors could account for this reversal in trend.

    (b) soluble in water
    (c) an electrical conductor?

    27. The melting points of compounds Cl2 and BrF are –101°C and –35°C respectively, and their boiling points are –33°C and –20°C
    respectively. The masses of the two compounds are similar. Explain the differences in their melting and boiling points.
