HF has higher boiling point than HCI....

HF has higher boiling point than HCI.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Due to the smaller size and higher electronegativity of fluorine, HF shows strong intermolecular H-bonding. Thus it exists as associated molecules and boils at a higher temperature, than HICI, because no such H bonding present in HCI
