(a) $He$
(b) $Ne$
(c) $Kr$
(d) $Xe$
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 9. (d)
Solution:
- As we move down the group of noble gases, molecular mass increases by which dipole produced for a moment and hence London forces increases from $He$ to $Xe$.
Therefore, more amount of energy is required to break these forces, thus boiling point also increases from $He$ and $Xe$.
