1. cl2 and br2 have approximately the same shape and neither is polar.
(a) upon cooling, both cl2 and br2 form solids. why?
(b) at 25°c, chlorine (cl2) is a gas whereas bromine (br2) is a liquid. why?

b. accuracy of the data matters alot more than its number of digits, organization or amount of detail. quantitative observation is more accepted than the qualitative observation.

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
