Question

Give below are two statements:

Statement-I: Noble gases have very high boiling points.

Statement-II: Noble gases are monoatomic gases. They are held together by strong dispersion forces. Because of this they are liquefied at very low temperature. Hence, they have very high boiling points.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Statement I: Noble gases have very LOW boiling points (He: −269°C, Ne: −246°C, Ar: −186°C). They are among the lowest boiling substances known. Statement I is false. ✗

Statement II: Noble gases are monoatomic and held together by weak London dispersion forces (not strong). Because of weak forces, they are liquefied at very low temperatures → they have very low boiling points. The statement contradicts itself by saying "strong dispersion forces" and "very high boiling points." Statement II is fa
