Question

What is the reason that F2 is in gas form and I2 on solid form at standard temperature and preasure

Answer 1

Hello and welcome to OpenStudy! Are you familiar with intramolecular forces?

Answer 2

you mean \(inter\)molecular forces.

\(inter\): between (different) molecules
\(intra\): between parts of the same molecule

Answer 3

Oh yes. I knew that but I was thinking of the wrong forces. Thanks Aaron.

Answer 4

Its becauese of London's dispersion forces between them @Yehangamage

Answer 5

These intermolecular forces increases down the group due to increase in size so I2 is in solid form and F2 is in gaseous .
