Q

Explain in terms of electronegativity why hydrogen fluoride has a higher boiling temperature than expected, than HCL, HBr and HI

A

1 - Electronegativity difference between atoms in HF is greater than others
2 - Only HF forms hydrogen bonds
3 - Hydrogen bonds are stronger than London forces in other hydrogen halides
