QUESTION:

What kind of attractive forces must be overcome in order to (a) melt ice, (b) boil molecular bromine, (c) melt solid iodine, and (d) dissociate \(\mathrm{F}_{2}\) into \(\mathrm{F}\) atoms?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

(a)

The melting of ice requires the breaking of hydrogen bonds formed in between water molecules due to the presence of the O-H bond. Along with these, dispersion forces are also present in water molecules.

Therefore, hydrogen bond and dispersion forces must be overcome during the melting of ice.
