Chapter 7: Problem 116
Consider the halogens chlorine, bromine, and iodine. The melting point and boiling point of chlorine are \(-101.5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and \(-34.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and those of iodine are \(113.7^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and \(184.3^{\circ} \mathrm{C},\) 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 the webelements.com website.
