Q. The increase in boiling points of the noble gases from $He$ to $Xe$ is due to

The p-Block Elements - Part2

Solution:

As the polarisation increases with increasing size from $He$ to $Xe$, induced dipole interactions i.e., van der Waals forces of attraction increases and hence the b.p. goes up.
