Choose the species with the highest boiling point.
A) HCl
B) HBr
C) HI
D) HF
E) All are the same.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

HF has the highest boiling point among the choices given due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds, which are stronger intermolecular forces compared to the dipole-dipole interactions present in HCl, HBr, and HI. This results in a higher amount of energy required to break these interactions, leading to a higher boiling point.
