Substance having highest boiling point among the following is
Correct answer: A. HF
- A. HF
- B. HCI
- C. Br2
- D. HBr
Explanation
HF (hydrogen fluoride) has the highest boiling point. HF molecules exhibit hydrogen bonding, which is a relatively strong intermolecular force. Hydrogen bonding occurs between the hydrogen atom in HF and the highly electronegative fluorine atom.In summary, HF has the highest boiling point among the given options because of the presence of hydrogen bonding.

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
