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.

b. ICl experiences dipole-dipole interactions

Explanation:

The molecule with the stronger intermolecular forces will have the higher boiling point.

In Br₂, the Br-Br bond has a dipole moment of zero, because the two atoms are identical.

In ICl, the I-Cl bond, has two different atoms. One must be more electronegative than the other, so there will be a non-zero bond dipole.

ICl will have the higher boiling point.

a is wrong. Br₂ is nonpolar, so it has no dipole-dipole interactions.

c is wrong. Br₂ cannot form hydrogen bonds, because there is no hydrogen.

d is wrong. ICl has dipole-dipole interactions.

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
