6. Given: Kr boils at 120.9 K and Cl2 boils at 238 K. Both would be considered non-polar and the London Forces are predicted to suggest the opposite boiling point trend (Kr has 83 electrons, Cl2 has 34 electrons). Thus, there must be something other than just the intermolecular forces involved. Draw a picture of the two species and think about how the drawings might give a clue. Have the group describe the ideas generated.

8.103 Cryolite (Na3AlF6) is used in refining aluminum. Use the web to look up what this addition does for the process, and relate it to the concepts of intermolecular forces from this chapter.
Consider the iodine monochloride molecule, ICI. Because chlorine is more electronegative than iodine, this molecule is a dipole. How would you expect iodine monochloride molecules in the gaseous state to orient themselves with respect to each other as the sample is cooled and the molecules begin to aggregate? Sketch the orientation you would expect.
