The attractions that allow molecules of krypton to exist in the solid phase are due to:1) ionic bonds2) covalent bonds3) molecule-ion forces4) Van der waals forces



Answer :

Krypton (Kr) possesses fully filled valence orbitals and is a member of the noble gas group. Kr exists as a white solid with a face-centered cubic structure in the solid state.

The strongest to weakest intermolecular forces of attraction are as follows:

London dispersion > ionic > hydrogen bonding > dipole-dipole

Kr is a non-polar, monoatomic atom. Strong bonds cannot form when the fully filled (stable) valence orbitals of two Kr atoms approach one another in close proximity due to a repulsive force. The long-range weak Van Der Waals force, commonly known as the London dispersion force, is the single force of attraction in Kr.
