The correct order of boiling point in the following compounds is

Options

  1. AHF > H ₂ O > NH ₃
  2. BH ₂ O > HF ²> NH ₃
  3. CNH ₃> H ₂ O > HF
  4. DNH ₃> HF > H ₂ O

Correct answer

B. H ₂ O > HF ²> NH ₃

Step-by-step solution

The correct order of boiling point of given hydrides is as follows H ₂ O > HF > NH ₃ Strength of H-bonding depends upon size and electronegativity of the atom. Smaller the size of the atom, greater is the electronegativity and stronger is the H -bonding. But each H ₂ O molecule has two hydrogen atom, whereas each HF molecule has only one hydrogen atom. Hydrogen bonding is more strong in H ₂ O molecules. While NH ₃ molecules due to less electronegativity of ' N ' atom than ' F^ atom is less polar and hence, have wea
