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

A

A fewer electrons than `O_(2)`

B

A dipole momnent

C

a `V` shape structure

D

Two covalent bonds

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Cricical temperature of `H_(2)O` is higher than `O_(2)` because `H_(2)O` molecule has dipole momnet which is due to its V-shape .
