I. Group 17 melting points increase down the group due to increased covalent bond strength
II. Lithium has a higher melting point than potassium
III. Bromine has a higher melting point than chlorine
A. $I$, $II$, and $III$
B. $I$ and $II$ only
C. $II$ and $III$ only
D. $II$ only
参考答案: C
本题详细解析:
Explanation: Group 17 melting points increase down the group due to increased strength in intermolecular forces. The molecular structures of each element are held together by London (dispersion) forces. These increase with the number of electrons in the molecule. Therefore statement I is not true, but III is.
Group 1 melting points decrease down a group due to decreasing metallic bond strength (with increase of atomic radius), therefore statement II is also true.
