The comparatively high b.pt. of \(\mathrm{HF}\) is due to
- A high reactivity of fluorine
- B small size of hydrogen atom
- C formation of hydrogen bonds and consequent association
- D high IE of fluorine
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) formation of hydrogen bonds and consequent association
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Intermolecular hydrogen bonding is found in (HF) \(_{n}\) due to higher electronegativity of fluorine atoms.
Hydrogen bonding is helpful in the association of HF molecule, so \(\mathrm{HF}\) is found in liquid form.
