Question:
High boiling point of water is due to ?
AWeak dissociation of water molecules
BHigh dissociation of water molecules
CHydrogen bonding amongst water molecules
DVander Waals forces of attraction amongst the molecule
Answer:
C. Hydrogen bonding amongst water molecules
Explanation:
- 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.
