E) none of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The major attractive force in HF is hydrogen bonding because of the large electronegativity difference between H and F, creating a strong partial positive and negative charge. This results in a strong dipole-dipole interaction that creates a hydrogen bond.
