Question

The van der Waals forces in halogens increase in the order :
  1. F2<Cl2<Br2<I2
  2. I2>Cl2>Br2>F2
  3. F2<Br2<I2<Cl2
  4. Br2<F2<Cl2<I2

A
F2<Cl2<Br2<I2
B
F2<Br2<I2<Cl2
C
I2>Cl2>Br2>F2
D
Br2<F2<Cl2<I2
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The van der Waals forces in halogens increase in the order F2<Cl2<Br2<I2. This is the same order as that for the increase in the atomic size. Higher is the atomic size, higher will be the van der Waal's force.

Q3
Consider the following orders –
(1) F2>Cl2>Br2>I2: boiling point
(2) F2>Cl2>Br2>I2: oxidizing nature
(3) F2>Cl2>Br2>I2: EN
(4) F2>Cl2>Br2>I2: BDE
(5) F2>Cl2>Br2>I2: EA
(6) F2>Cl2>Br2>I2: Reactivity
(7) HOCl>HClO2>HClO3>HClO4: Acidic nature
(8) HOCl>HClO2>HClO3>HClO4: Oxidizing nature
Then calculate (x2+y2) when x is correct order and y is incorrect order.
