Question

Arrange H₂S,H₂Se,and H₂Te in order from lowest to highest boiling point. A) H₂Te < H₂Se < H₂S B) H₂S < H₂Se < H₂Te C) H₂S < H₂Te < H₂Se D) H₂Se < H₂Te < H₂S E) H₂Te < H₂S < H₂Se

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The boiling points of compounds increase with the molar mass when the chemical nature of the molecules is similar. Sulfur (S), Selenium (Se), and Tellurium (Te) are in the same group of the periodic table, with Te being the heaviest and S the lightest, leading to H₂S having the lowest boiling point and H₂Te the highest.
