JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure
\(HF\) has highest boiling point among hydrogen halides, because it has
- A lowest dissociation enthalpy
- B strongest van der Waals’ interactions
- C strongest hydrogen bonding
- D lowest ionic character
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) strongest hydrogen bonding
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(HF\) has strong hydrogen bond. \(\therefore \) It has highest boiling point among hydrogen halides. The strong hydrogen bond is due to more difference in electronegativity between \(F\) and \(H\) atoms
