What explains the higher boiling point of hydrogen fluoride?
What explains the higher boiling point of hydrogen fluoride?
- There is strong hydrogen bonding between HF molecules.
- The bond energy of HF molecules is greater than in other hydrogen halides.
- The effect of nuclear shielding is much reduced in fluorine which polarises the HF molecule.
- The electronegativity of fluorine is much higher than for other elements in the group.
