MCQ
$HCl$ is a gas, but $HF$ is a low boiling liquid. This is because
  • A
    $H - F$ bond is strong
  • B
    $H - F$ bond is weak
  • The molecules aggregate because of hydrogen bonding in $HF$
  • D
    $HF$ is a weak acid

Answer

Correct option: C.
The molecules aggregate because of hydrogen bonding in $HF$
c
$H - F$ is a liquid at room temperature while $HCl$ is a gas. This is due to extensive $H$-bonding in $H$ - $F$ which increases its boiling point.
