Question

Explain why flourine has a lower melting point than chlorine. ​

Answer 1

It has low melting and boiling points , second lowest to flourine because chlorine having a weak dipole bonds because of less electrons in chlorine . And because of less size of flourine than chlorine . so flourine has a lower m.p that chlorine..

Answer 2

Answer:

This is because the instantaneous dipole-induced dipole bonds are weak due to F2 having less electrons than any other halogen molecules.
