5.
At room temperature, chlorine, Cl2, is a gas.  Which of the following provides a characteristic of chlorine with a correct explanation?
a)
chlorine has a lower boiling point than bromine (which is a liquid at room temperature) because chlorine has fewer electrons than bromine
b)
chlorine has a lower first ionization energy than argon (an atomic element that is also a gas at room temperature) because elemental chlorine forms molecules whereas elemental argon does not.
c)
chlorine is a not a good conductor of electricity because it has lone pairs of electrons.
d)
chlorine is soluble in water because chlorine is polar.
6.
Based on the information in the table, which liquid has a higher vapor pressure at 25oC and why?
a)
CBr4 (l), because it has weaker intermolecular forces
b)
CBr4 (l), because it has stronger intermolecular forces
c)
CHBr3 (l), because it has weaker intermolecular forces
d)
CHBr3 (l), because it has stronger intermolecular forces
