Which of the following best explains the relative boiling points for Cl_2and HCl

Question

Which of the following best explains the relative boiling points for Cl_2and HCl? Cl_2 has the higher boiling point because liquid Cl_2 has stronger London-dispersion forces than liquid HCI I_2 has the higher boiling point because liquid CI_2 has stronger dipole-dipole forces than liquid HCI HCI has the higher boiling point because liquid HCI has hydrogen-bonding interactions while liquid CI_2 has no hydrogen bonding interactions. has the higher boiling point because liquid has dipole-dipole forces while liquid Cl_2 does not have dipole-dipole forces.

Explanation / Answer

Cl2 has the higher boiling point because Cl2 has stronger London -dispersion forces than liquid HCl.

Among Cl2 london dispersion froce greater than intermolecular force (LONDON DISPERSION FROCE AND DIPOLE FORCE) among HCl molecular
