The boiling point of bromine is 59 °C. Which of the following best predicts the boiling
point of iodine monochloride, a polar compound? (4 points)
Lower than 59 °C because ionic bonding in bromine is stronger than covalent bonding in
iodine monochloride.
Higher than 59 °C because dipole-dipole interactions in iodine monochloride are stronger
than dispersion forces in bromine.
Lower than 59 °C because dipole-dipole interactions in iodine monochloride are weaker than
in bromine.
Higher than 59 °C because ionic bonding in iodine monochloride is stronger than H-bonding
in bromine.
