Iodine Monochloride (ICI) is an interhalogen or compound. ICI has an intermolecular attraction which makes it more difficult to boil compare to Bromine (Br2). Brorime is among the halogens along with fluorine, chlorine, iodine and astatine. Bromine is a nonpolar substance while ICI is a polar compound.
