Both $(b)$ and $(c)$

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The correct answer is $(d)$. Both statements $(b)$ and $(c)$ are false. $1$. The electron affinity of chlorine $(Cl)$ is higher than that of fluorine $(F)$ due to the small size and high inter-electronic repulsion in the $2p$ subshell of fluorine. $2$. The boiling point of halogens increases down the group as the size and molecular mass increase,leading to stronger van der Waals forces. Thus,iodine $(I_2)$ has the maximum boiling point,not fluorine.    Element $F$ $Cl$ $Br$ $I$     $E.A. \ (kJ/mol)$ $332.6$ $348.5$ $324.7$ $295.5$   Boiling point $(^oC)$ $-188.1$ $-34.6$ $59.5$ $185.2$
