Chlorine and bromine have different volatilities. Which row identifies the more volatile of the two elements, and gives the correct explanation?
Aidentity of the more volatile element: bromine; explanation for the difference in volatility: instantaneous dipole-induced dipole forces are greater in bromine than they are in chlorine
Bidentity of the more volatile element: bromine; explanation for the difference in volatility: instantaneous dipole-induced dipole forces are greater in chlorine than they are in bromine
Cidentity of the more volatile element: chlorine; explanation for the difference in volatility: instantaneous dipole-induced dipole forces are greater in bromine than they are in chlorine
Didentity of the more volatile element: chlorine; explanation for the difference in volatility: instantaneous dipole-induced dipole forces are greater in chlorine than they are in bromine
✓ Correct answer
C: identity of the more volatile element: chlorine; explanation for the difference in volatility: instantaneous dipole-induced dipole forces are greater in bromine than they are in chlorine
