Chlorine has the lowest boiling point as compared to other two (bromine and iodine) because Br and I is larger than Cl, therefore Br2 AND I2 has stronger intermolecular foces (Van der Waals) compared to Cl2. Among Br2 and I2 , Bromine has lower boiling point as compared to iodine ( same reason)

Hope , this helped you.

I2 HAS THE LOWEST BOILING POINT SINCE IT COMES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PERIODIC TABLE AND IT HAS LARGER SIZE,SOBOND LENGTH LARGE,EASILY WE CAN BREAK THE BOND.

Cl2: -34°C
Br2: 59.5°C

I2: 185.2°C.

You can see that the boiling point is increasing down the group.
