The dipole moments decrease across the series PH3 > AsH3 > SbH3 > BiH3. Why do the boiling points increase?
Check all that apply.
The electron clouds of the molecules become smaller along the series. |
The electron clouds of the molecules become larger along the series. |
The smaller numbers of electrons are more polarizable, leading to greater dispersion forces. |
The larger numbers of electrons are more polarizable, leading to greater dispersion forces. |
