Iodine is solid due to?
- Strong covalent bond
- Large value of dipole moment
- High polarizability
- Strong hydrogen bonding
Explanation
Iodine is solid due to its high polarizability.
Iodine is a solid at room temperature due to the strong intermolecular forces present between its molecules, specifically London dispersion forces
These forces arise from the large size and high polarizability of iodine atoms.
Larger atoms like iodine have more electrons, which are easier to distort, leading to stronger attractive forces between molecules.
This allows iodine molecules to stick together in a solid state
