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

A

fewer electrons than `O_(2)`

B

two covalent bonds

C

V-shape

D

dipole moment

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`H_(2) `O has dipole moment i.e it is polar. Hence it has higher critical temperature.
