To understand the boiling points of the hydrogen halides (HF, HCl, HBr, and HI), we can analyze the factors affecting these boiling points step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the Compounds We are comparing the boiling points of four hydrogen halides: HF (hydrogen fluoride), HCl (hydrogen chloride), HBr (hydrogen bromide), and HI (hydrogen iodide). ### Step 2: Consider Molecular Mass The boiling points of substances are generally influenced by their molecular masses. As the molecular mass increases, the number of electrons in the molecule also increases, which leads to stronger London dispersion forces (a type of van der Waals force). ...
