Boric acid in solid, whereas \(BF _3\) is gas at room temperature because of
- A Strong ionic bond in Boric acid
- B Strong van der Waal's interaction in Boric acid
- C Strong hydrogen bond in Boric acid
- D Strong covalent bond in \(BF _3\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Strong hydrogen bond in Boric acid
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Boric acid has strong hydrogen bonding while \(BF _3\) does not. Therefore boric acid is solid.
