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)
Boiling point of Cl2 is lowest i.e 239.11 K , then of Br2=332K and of I2 = 457.40K
Plz. approve my answer by clicking Yes given below, if u loved it... Plz/....
AND BEST OF LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
Cl2 has lowest boiling point
