Question
Which of the following gases would you expect to deviate from ideal behavior under conditions of low-temperature F2, Cl2, or Br2? Explain.

Solution
-
Bromine deviates (Br2) from the ideal gas maximum than Cl2 and F2. Because Br2 has the biggest size (atomic weight 79.9) provides maximum attraction between bromine molecules which is directly proportional to the size of the molecule and the boiling point of the liquid made from those molecules.
- Br2 deviates from ideal behaviour because it has the largest atomic radii compared to Cl2 and F2. So it contains more electrons than the other two, and the Vander Waals forces are stronger in Br2 than in Cl2 and F2. So Br2 deviates from ideal behaviour.
