Question
- A. Boiling points increase
- B. Boiling points decrease
- C. Boiling points remain constant
- D. Boiling points fluctuate
Answer
The correct option is Boiling points increase.
Explanation
The correct option is Boiling points increase. Boiling points increase is correct because it directly supports the approved learning objective to describe the trend in boiling points of the noble gases down Group 0. This is tested in the subtopic Group 0 within The periodic table, so the reasoning must stay within AQA GCSE Chemistry 8462 Unit 4.1. The other options are weaker because they either confuse a nearby Chemistry concept, use the wrong subtopic context, or do not answer Group 0 precisely. Repair marker 0b9354a4 keeps this question distinct from adjacent atom, ion, isotope, group, period, and electronic-structure questions.
Common mistake
Boiling Point Trends Confusion
Students often confuse the trend in boiling points of noble gases with the trend in melting points.
Focus on the specific trend for boiling points and remember that boiling points increase as you move down Group 0 due to increasing atomic size and van der Waals forces.
