Moderate

The highest boiling point among the following is for:

Correct answer: A. NH3

  • A. NH3
  • B. Br2
  • C. CHCl3
  • D. Xe

Explanation

NH₃ is a polar molecule capable of forming hydrogen bonds due to the presence of a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative nitrogen atom. Hydrogen bonds are relatively strong intermolecular forces that elevate the boiling point of NH₃.

About Properties of Liquids

Liquid behavior depends on intermolecular forces, which produce surface tension, viscosity, capillary action and a definite volume without a fixed shape. The topic also covers vapor pressure, evaporation, boiling point and the effect of temperature and external pressure, while distinguishing evaporation at the surface from boiling throughout the liquid.
