Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The greater the relative atomic  mass of an atom the more polarizable the atom is.

Also, the magnitude of dispersion forces depends on the molecular mass of the compound.

We must remember that both I2 and F2 are nonpolar molecules that are purely held together by dispersion forces.

Hence, I2, having the greater molecular mass and surface area experiences a greater magnitude of dispersion forces and consequently has a higher boiling point than F2.
