Question 4

Which statement explains why the boiling point of the noble gases increases down Group 18?

The atomic radius decreases, allowing closer packing of the atoms.

The outer-shell electrons are further from the nucleus, decreasing reactivity.

The number of electrons increases, resulting in stronger induced dipole-dipole interactions (London forces).

The strength of the covalent bonds within the monatomic atoms increases.
