A. High intermolecular forces of attraction. If there are high intermolecular forces, the molecules will need large energies to escape into the liquid. The substance will nave a high melting point.
The other options are <em>incorrect </em>because they are <em>weak force</em>s. They would cause <em>low melting points</em>.
A valid Lewis structure of IF3 cannot be drawn without violating the octet rule.
Answer: IF3 (Iodine Trifluoride)
This is because, I (Iodine) and F (Fluorine) both have odd number of valence electrons (7) which also means that there are too many valence electrons in the valence shell.
A neutral atom of potassium has 19 electrons.
