Hey there!:

1 - True: Grignard reagents tend to act as Bronsted bases.

2 - False:  Grignard reagents decompose rapidly in anhydrous ether solutions

3 - True : A Grignard reagent contains nucleophilic carbon.

4 - False:  Once prepared , a Grignard reagent can be easily stored, and need not be used quickly.

5 - True :  The Grignard reagent is an example of an organometallic compound.

Hope that helps!

c. Iodine molecules are large with strong inter molecular forces than chlorine

Iodine is a larger molecule, with more electrons, than chlorine. Therefore Iodine has stronger intermolecular forces than chlorine, which require more energy to break.
