ICl has a higher boiling point than Br2. What is the best explanation for this?

<span>The best answer is B. ICl experiences induced dipole-induced dipole interactions. Both iodine and chlorine belongs to the same group of the periodic table. Electronegativity decreases as you go down a group therefore Cl will have a greater attraction with the bond it forms with another atom. Dipole-dipole interactions form between I and Cl. For the Br2 molecule, no dipole occurs because they are two identical atoms. Therefore we will be expecting ICl will have a higher boiling point due to higher binding energy it forms.</span>

In the reaction of silver nitrate with copper metal, metallic silver comes out of solution, and the solution turns blue. This as

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Single displacement reaction.

Explanation:

Hello!!

In this case, since the reaction between silver nitrate and copper metal is:

$2AgNO_3(aq)+Cu(s)\rightarrow 2Ag(s)+Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)$

As silver was forming silver nitrate, due to the presence of copper, which has the capacity to displace silver out of the salt, we notice the formation of solid silver and a resulting copper (II) nitrate which is blue in aqueous solution.

Therefore, this is a single displacement reaction, because the the lonely copper displaced the silver.

Best regards!

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Ionic bonds.

Since Sodium (Na) is a cation and Chlorine (Cl) is a Anion, they both form a Ionic bond called as NaCl (common salt)

So answer is, Na and Cl
