Chlorine has a smaller atomic size.
Explanation: As you move towards right of the periodic table, the atomic size decreases. This is because the number of protons is increasing towards the right of the periodic table, which applies a greater inward force on the electrons. that is why the elements on the right of the periodic table have a smaller atomic size when compared to the elements on the left. Since chlorine is on the right side of aluminium, it has a smaller atomic size.

is the weakest intermolecular force. It is a temporary force that happens when
electrons of two adjacent atoms occupy positions that make atoms form dipoles
which are temporary dipoles. This is also referred as dipole-dipole attraction.</span>
The standard state formation reaction is a chemical reaction in which one moles of substance in its standard state is formed from its constituent element in their standard state.All the substance must be in their most stable state at 100kpa and 25 degrees celsius.
therefore for HF is
1/2H2 +1/2F2 =HF
