The boiling points of hydrides of group 16 are in the order

A

`H_(2)O gt H_(2)S gt H_(2)Se gt H_(2)Te`

B

`H_(2)O gt H_(2)Se gt H_(2)Te gt H_(2)O`

C

`H_(2)O gt H_(2)Te gt H_(2)Se gt H_(2)S`

D

`H_(2)Te gt H_(2)Se gt H_(2)O gt H_(2)S`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Boiling point increases in moving from `H_2S` to `H_2Te,` owing to increase in vander Waals forces, due to the increase in molecular mass. `H_2O` has UPI exceptionally high b.p. because it form strong ba intermolecular H-bonds.

Fifth group elements form hydrides to type AH_(3) . The hydrides have a lone pair of electrons. The hydries are reducing in nature and the reducing power is related to the stability of A-H bonds. The hydrides are covalent and low boiling. Their boiling points depends on their ability to from hydrogen bond and their molecular size which decide the intermolcular forces in the hydrides . The boiling points of the hydrides of V-group elements are in the order :
