NEET 2022 Chemistry question
Given below are two statements Statement I : The boiling points of the following hydrides of group 16 elements increases in the order - Statement II : The boiling points of these hydrides increase with increase in molar mass. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Answer: (C)
Solution
Water has the highest boiling point (H-bonding), so the order in Statement I is wrong; Statement II is also wrong for the same reason.
