Elements of group-15, 16 and 17 form compounds with hydrogen with general formula MH3, H2M and HX (called hydrogen halides). Stability of these hydrides, along with M-H bond strength and basic nature decreases down the group. Boiling point of these hydrides mainly depends on the strength of their inter molecular forces.
Which of the following is liquid at \(20^{\circ} C\) ?
A. HCl
B. HI
C. HF
D. NH3
E. HBr
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A \(HCl , HI\) only
- B NH3 only
- C HF only
- D HBr only
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) HF only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Boiling points: \(HCl: -85.05^{\circ} C\) \(HI: -35.36^{\circ} C\) \(HF: 19.54^{\circ} C\) \(NH_3: -33.34^{\circ} C\) \(HBr: -66.8^{\circ} C\) At \(20^{\circ} C\), only HF has a boiling point close to or just below \(20^{\circ} C\), making it the only substance among the options…

The term vitamin was coined from the word vital +amine since the earlier identifiedc ompounds had amino groups. Later work showed that most of them didn't contain amino groups. They are very essential for the body. They has to be taken various diet or in the form of medicines also.
Vitamins are classified into two groups depending upon their solubility in water or fat.
Fat soluble vitamins are soluble in fat and oils but insoluble in water. They are stored in liver and adipose (fat storing) tissues Water-soluble vitamins are soluble in water. These must be supplied regularly in diet because they are readily excreted in urine and cannot be stored in our body.
