Given below are two statements :
Statement I : The increasing order of boiling point of hydrogen halides is .
Statement II : The increasing order of melting point of hydrogen halides is .
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Statement I : The increasing order of boiling point of hydrogen halides is .
Statement II : The increasing order of melting point of hydrogen halides is .
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Options
- AStatement I is true but Statement II is false
- BBoth Statement I and Statement II are true
- CBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
- DStatement I is false but Statement II is true
Correct answer
B. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Step-by-step solution
Correct order of:
(i) Boiling point: HF > HI > HBr > HCl
So increasing order: HCl < HBr < HI < HF (Statement I is true)
(ii) Melting point: HI > HF > HBr > HCl
So increasing order: HCl < HBr < HF < HI (Statement II is true)
Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
(i) Boiling point: HF > HI > HBr > HCl
So increasing order: HCl < HBr < HI < HF (Statement I is true)
(ii) Melting point: HI > HF > HBr > HCl
So increasing order: HCl < HBr < HF < HI (Statement II is true)
Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
