Q4Multiple choice
Hydrogen bonds are formed in many compounds e.g., H2O, HF, NH3 . The boiling point of such compounds depends to a large extent on the strength of hydrogen bond and the number of hydrogen bonds. The correct decreasing order of the boiling points of above compounds is :
- (i)HF > H2O > NH3
- (ii)H2O > HF > NH3
- (iii)NH3 > HF > H2O
- (iv)NH3 > H2O > HF 3–
Show answer
(ii) H2O > HF > NH3
