As we know that solid has definite volume and rigid shape and in-compressible.solid have their melting and boiling point above room temperature.Similarly IODOFORM is yellow crystalline have rigid shape.melting point at 120 degree C and boiling point 410 which is above room temperature and insoluble in...

Iodine is a bulky atom which makes the iodoform molecule very large. Hence there is strong van der Waal's force of attraction between the molecules which makes it solid. Chlorine is relatiely smaller...so vdW force is weaker...hence a liquid.

Iodine is bigger that chlorine. So it can be better polarized so intermolecular forces are more intensive in iodoform.

London Dispersion Forces are strong due to higher polarizing ability, if molecules are bigger. As Iodine is bigger than other halogens, the outer most electrons can be easily dispersed and polarized. Thus iodoform is solid at room temperature.
