Questions

  1. 1.

    Which of the following statements best explains why the boiling point of the noble gases increases down the group from helium to xenon?

    • A) Permanent dipole-dipole attractions strengthen as nuclear charge increases down the group.
    • B) Stronger covalent bonds form between the atoms as atomic radius increases.
    • C) Hydrogen bonding occurs more readily due to the higher electron density in larger shells.
    • D) The larger electron cloud is more polarizable, resulting in stronger London dispersion forces.
