MCQ
Contrary to other hydrogen halides, hydrogen fluoride is a liquid because
- ASize of $F$ atom is small
- B$HF$ is a weak acid
- ✓$HF$ molecule are hydrogen bonded
- DFluorine is highly reactive
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
$HF$ molecule are hydrogen bonded
c
$HF$ has strong hydrogen bonding, so the force between molecules is stronger for this than in other hydrogen halides.Hence, $HF$ is a liquid at room temperature and other hydrogen halides are gases.
