Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the decreasing order of boiling points of H₂O, NH₃, and HF, we need to analyze the hydrogen bonding capabilities of each molecule. Here's a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand Hydrogen Bonding Hydrogen bonding occurs when hydrogen is bonded to highly electronegative atoms such as fluorine (F), oxygen (O), or nitrogen (N). The strength of hydrogen bonds is influenced by the electronegativity of the atoms involved. ### Step 2: Compare Electronegativity The electronegativity values for F, O, and N are as follows: - Fluorine (F) > Oxygen (O) > Nitrogen (N) ...
