3.1 Intermolecular and Interparticle Forces
A student investigates the physical properties of noble gases to understand the relationship between atomic structure and the strength of intermolecular forces. The table below lists four noble gases and their electron counts.
Which of the following correctly ranks these elements from highest to lowest normal boiling point and provides the correct justification?
| Element | Atomic number | Number of electrons |
|---|---|---|
| \(\text{Ne}\) | \(10\) | \(10\) |
| \(\text{Ar}\) | \(18\) | \(18\) |
| \(\text{Kr}\) | \(36\) | \(36\) |
