Chemistry Question on p -Block Elements

Which one has the highest boiling point?

A

H2{{H}_{2}}

B

XeXe

C

CH4C{{H}_{4}}

D

HeHe

Answer

XeXe

Explanation

Solution

Boiling point \propto vander Waals force vander Waals force oc atomic mass (or molecular mass) \because Atomic mass of Xe is highest among. H2,He,CH4,Xe{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\text{,He,}\,\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}}\text{,}\,\text{Xe} \therefore Boiling point of Xe is highest.
