the variation of the boiling points of the hydrogen haildes is in the order HF>HI>HBr>HCl
What explains the higher boiling point of the hydrogeen fluoride
a)the bond energy HF is greater than other hydrogen halides
b)the effect of nuclear shielding is much reduced in fluorine which polarises the HF molecule
c)the electronegativity of fluorine is much higher than for the other elements in the group
d)there is a strong hydrogen bonding between HF
