Boiling point of hydrogen fluoride is highest amongst HF, HCl, HBr and HI. Which type of intermolecular forces are present in hydrogen fluoride?

H-F has highest van der Walls’ forces and dipole moment.

H – F has highest London forces.

H–F has highest dipole moment hence has dipole, London forces and hydrogen bonding.

H – F has strong intermolecular interactions like dipole-induced dipole.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

: H-F has dipole-dipole, London forces and hydrogen bonding due to highest electronegativity of F. Hence, boiling point of H – F is highest.
