Statement $I$: The boiling point of hydrides of Group $16$ elements follow the order
$\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Te}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Se}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}$.
Statement $II$: On the basis of molecular mass, $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ is expected to have lower boiling point than the othe members of the group but due to the presence of extensive $\mathrm{H}$-bonding in $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$, it has higher boiling point.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- ABoth Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false
- BStatement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false
- ✓Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true
- DBoth Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true
Answer: C.
