Why is the boiling point of water higher than the boiling point of chlorine?
Hydrogen Bonding.
Hydrogen bonding between water molecules requires a lot more energy to break than the instantaneous dipole interactions among chlorine molecules because water has H bonded to electronegative O, which results in a permanent dipole moment.

The boiling point of water is higher than the boiling point of chlorine because water molecules are held together by stronger hydrogen bonds compared to the weaker van der Waals forces between chlorine molecules.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
