Question

High boiling point of water is due to ?

• A. Weak dissociation of water molecules
• B. High dissociation of water molecules
• C. Hydrogen bonding amongst water molecules
• D. Vander Waals forces of attraction amongst the molecule

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Hydrogen bonding amongst water molecules

• Water has strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the molecules.
• Large amount of energy is required to break this hydrogen bonding.
• Hence water molecules have high boiling point, due to the Hydrogen bonding amongst water molecules.
