Given below are two statements:
Statement I : The boiling points of the following hydrides of group 16 elements increases in the order
Statement II : The boiling points of these hydrides increase with increase in molar mass.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Statement I : The boiling points of the following hydrides of group 16 elements increases in the order
Statement II : The boiling points of these hydrides increase with increase in molar mass.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect because the boiling point of water is higher than the other hydrides due to hydrogen bonding, and boiling points do not simply increase with molar mass.
