Which of the following has the highest heat of vaporization?
Options
- AHF
- BHCl
- CHBr
- DHI
Correct answer
A. HF
Step-by-step solution
HF forms strong intermolecular H-bonds and other hydrogen halides do not form intermolecular H-bonds. Van der Waals forces increase from HCl to HI. Consequently, HF has highest heat of vaporization here.
