2. Estimate the order of the boiling points for the four molecular
species in question 1. Explain your reasoning.
XeO3: polar, so some dipole-dipole
interactions; large volume so strong van der Waal's interactions.
XeOF2: weakly polar, so weak dipole-dipole
interactions; large volume so strong van der Waal's interactions.
KrF2: nonpolar, small volume so weak
van der Waal's interactions.
SeF4: polar, so some dipole-dipole
interactions; moderately small volume so weak to moderate van der Waal's
interactions.
prediction for boiling points: KrF2
< SeF4 < XeOF2 < XeO3
