Maximum Hydrogen bonding is found in:
Correct answer: B. HF
- A. HI
- B. HF
- C. HCL
- D. HBr
Explanation
We talk about HF, it has strong hydrogen bonding and thus has the highest boiling point. Therefore, HF exists in the liquid state, and HI, HBr, and HCl exist in the gaseous state. The rest are not as electronegative as fluorine.

About Hydrogen Bonding
Hydrogen bonding is the strong attraction between hydrogen attached to nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine and an electronegative atom in the same or another molecule. It explains unusual boiling points, viscosity, surface tension, water's properties and the difference between intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
