NEETChemistryHydrogen
Would you expect the hydrides of N, O and F to have lower boiling points than the hydrides of their subsequent group members?
Options
- AYes, because N, O, and F hydrides have weaker intermolecular forces.
- BNo, because N, O, and F hydrides have stronger covalent bonds.
- CYes, because N, O, and F hydrides have larger molecular sizes.
- DNo, because N, O, and F hydrides have stronger hydrogen bonding due to high electronegativity
Correct answer
D. No, because N, O, and F hydrides have stronger hydrogen bonding due to high electronegativity
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (D) No, because N, O, and F hydrides have stronger hydrogen bonding due to high electronegativity
