Solved: Consider the halogens chlorine, bromine, and

QUESTION:

Consider the halogens chlorine, bromine, and iodine. The melting point and boiling point of chlorine are \(\mathrm{-101.0^\circ C}\) and \(\mathrm{-34.6^\circ C}\) while those of iodine are \(\mathrm{113.5^\circ C}\) and \(\mathrm{184.4^\circ C}\), respectively. Thus, chlorine is a gas and iodine is a solid under room conditions. Estimate the melting point and boiling point of bromine. Compare your values with those from a handbook of chemistry.
