8. Which of the following will explain this observation, the surface tension of CHBR3 is greater than that of CHCI3? A. Chlorine is more electronegative than bromine thus CHBR3 has stronger H-bond than CHCI3. B. CHBR3 has a higher molar mass, more polarizable thus stronger dispersion forces. C. CHCI3 exhibits dipole- dipole force thus lesser surface tension. D. CHBR3 is less polarizable thus stronger dispersion force.
