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.
