For molecular forms of the given elememnts P, S, Cl, Ar which has highest melting and boiling point
Answers
Answer:
Chlorine, Cl2, is a much smaller molecule with comparatively weak van der Waals attractions, and so chlorine will have a lower melting and boiling point than sulphur or phosphorus. ... The scope for van der Waals attractions between these is very limited and so the melting and boiling points of argon are lower again
