Question

10. Summarize the effect of hydrogen bonding on boiling point.

11. Hydrogen fluoride (HF) has a lower boiling point than water, even though fluoride (F) has a greater electronegativity than oxygen (O). Why do you think that is?​

Answer 1

10. it increases the boiling point because it is a stone bond and will require much energy to break it.

11.So, to boil liquid water, all hydrogen bonds have to be broken and it requires a large amount of energy. This isn't the case in HF; all hydrogen bonds need not to be broken, and therefore a lesser amount of energy is required. So HF boils at a much lower temperature as compared to water even though F has high electronegativity but the force of attraction or the intermolecular is is weak
