(Solved): The freezing point of helium is -270\deg C. The freezing point of xenon is -112\deg C. Both of these ...

The freezing point of helium is

. The freezing point of xenon is

. Both of these are in the noble gas family. Which of the following statements is supported by these data? As the molecular weight of the noble gas increases, the freezing point decreases. Helium and xenon form highly polar molecules. The London dispersion forces between the helium molecules are greater than the London dispersion between the xenon molecules. The London dispersion forces between the helium molecules are less than the London dispersion forces between the xenon molecules.
