MCQ
$HCl$ is a gas, but $HF$ is a low boiling liquid. This is because
- A$H - F$ bond is strong
- B$H - F$ bond is weak
- ✓The molecules aggregate because of hydrogen bonding in $HF$
- D$HF$ is a weak acid
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
The molecules aggregate because of hydrogen bonding in $HF$
c
$H - F$ is a liquid at room temperature while $HCl$ is a gas. This is due to extensive $H$-bonding in $H$ - $F$ which increases its boiling point.
