Consider the compounds CH3Br and CH3I. Give a two sentence answer that addresses the following (one sentence for each part). Your answer should clearly relate structure and intermolecular forces. You might expect that CH3Br has the higher boiling point. Why? It turns out that CH3I has the higher boiling point. Why?
