In a comparative study of halogen hydrides, which substance shows an anomalously high boiling point due to the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding?
Q1. In a comparative study of halogen hydrides, which substance shows an anomalously high boiling point due to the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding?
Answer: HF
Explanation: HF has the highest boiling point due to strong hydrogen bonding; HI is tempting because of its larger mass and London forces.
