Which of the following statements is true of hydrogen atom ? (a)Cl and N have comparable electronegativities yet there is no H- bonding in HCl because size of Cl is large. (b) Intermolecular H- bonding results in decrease in m.p. and b.p. (c) Ice has maximum density at `0^(@)C` due to H- bonding. (d) `KHCl_(2)(HCl_(2)^(-))` exists but `KHF_(2)(HF_(2)^(-))` does not exist due to lack of H- bonding in HCl.

Options

A. Cl and N have comparable electronegativities yet there is no H- bonding in HCl because size of Cl is large.
B. Intermolecular H- bonding results in decrease in m.p. and b.p.
C. Ice has maximum density at `0^(@)C` due to H- bonding.
D. `KHCl_(2)(HCl_(2)^(-))` exists but `KHF_(2)(HF_(2)^(-))` does not exist due to lack of H- bonding in HCl.

Answer

A

Explanation

For hydrogen bonding , the size of the atom should be small.
