In halogens, fluorine has fewer electrons and a weaker dispersion force as compared to iodine. Which statement is true regarding fluorine and iodine?


pratyay1699: where are the statements post the question dude
egaon0511: A. Fluorine is a gas and iodine is a solid at room temperature.
B.
Fluorine is liquid and iodine is gas at room temperature.
C.
Both fluorine and iodine are gases at room temperature.
D.
Both fluorine and iodine are solids at room temperature.
E.
Fluorine is solid and iodine is liquid at room temperature.
pratyay1699: Answer will be A , See as the London Dispersion Force is more in Iodine which means force of attraction is Hight , it forms solid and Fluorine due to weak attraction force is a Gas at room temperature

as atomic size increases down the group
then force of attraction on electron decrease from nucleus
fluorine: 9
iodine:53 atomic number
