The critical temperature of water is higher than that of `O_(2)` because the `H_(2)O` molecule has

A

fewer electrons than oxygen

B

two covalent bonds

C

`V`-shape structure

D

dipole moment

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Critical temperature of water is more than `O_(2)` due to its dipole moment ( Dipole moment of water `=1.84D`, Dipole moment of `O_(2)=0 D)`.
