Melting and Boiling Points

a Give reason...

Question

(a) Give reasons for the following.
(i) Bond enthalpy of $F_{2}$ is lower than that of $C l_{2}$ .
(ii) $P H_{3}$ has lower boiling point than $N H_{3}$ .
(b) Draw the structures of the following molecules.
(i) $B r F_{3}$ (ii) $(H P O_{3})_{3}$ (iii) $X e F_{4}$

Solution

a) i. Fluorine has lower bond enthalpy than chlorine. This happens because the size of fluorine is small and F-F bond length is short. Due to this the electrons lie in 2p orbital with large electron-electron repulsion among the lone pairs of $F_{2}$ molecule but they are relatively much closer to each other in $C l_{2}$ molecule.
ii. This is due to the fact that $N H_{3}$ has hydrogen bonding which increase the bond strength, thus, increases the boiling point, while in case of $P H_{3}$ Van der Waal's forces are weaker.
b. The structures of the following molecules are:
