The comparatively high b.pt. of HF is due toA. high reactivity of fluorineB. small size of hydrogen atomC. formation of hydrogen bonds and consequent associationD. high IE of fluorine |

Answer» Correct Answer - C Intramolecular hydrogen bonding is found in `(HF)_(n)` due to higher electronegativity of fluorine atoms. `underset("hydrogen bonding")(......H-F......H-F....H-F.....)` Hydrogen bonding is helpful in the association of HF molecule, so HF is found in liquid form. |
