The reason for the noble gases to have low boiling and low melting point is

  1. A atoms of the noble gases have weak covalent interaction
  2. B atoms of the noble gases have weak dipole interaction
  3. C atoms of the noble gases have weak van der Waals' interaction
  4. D None of these.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) atoms of the noble gases have weak van der Waals' interaction

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Noble gases have low boiling point and low melting point because of (i) weak van der Waals' interactions and, (ii) weak dispersion forces. Hence, option (3) and (4) both are the correct answer.
