JEE Main Chemistry question

High boiling point of water is due to:

(A)Its high specific heat
(B)Hydrogen bondingCorrect
(C)High dielectric constant
(D)Low dissociation constant

Answer: (B)

Solution

Water's unusually high boiling point for so small a molecule is a direct consequence of extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonding, which must be substantially overcome before the liquid can vaporise. High
