Answer:

1. First one is true : as per periodic table down the group , the elements has increasing order of shell & with that the London dispersion forces brings the inter-molecules close together and bromine converted into liquid .

2. second one is False because carbon-carbon bonds are not weak bonds they form mutual covalent bonds which are stronger bonds and cannot be easily disrupted .

3. A single carbon atom has the valency of 4 so it can be bonded with four hydrogen atom at the same time .
