16. Arrange the following inorganic compounds in correct decreasing order of
the boiling points. H2O NH3 HF
Decreasing order of the boiling points of compounds will be,
H2O>HF>NH3; due to the strength of hydrogen bonding present in given
compound. So, more the hydrogen bonding, higher will be boiling point.
Each water molecule can potentially form four hydrogen bonds with
surrounding water molecules. Due to higher partial charge on H and F in
HF, a hydrogen bond between HF molecules is stronger than that of NH3
molecules.
17. Arrange the following in increasing order of boiling point. HF, HBr, HI, HCl.
Hence, name the intermolecular forces in HF.
HCl < HBr < HI < HF

18. Explain why ammonia, NH 3 (-33.4 ˚C) has a higher boiling point than
phosphine, PH3 (-87.8 ˚C). Justify your answer
Ammonia has a higher boiling point than phosphine because while they
both have London dispersion forces and dipole-dipole intermolecular
forces, ammonia also has hydrogen bonding, which is stronger than
London dispersion forces and dipole-dipole intermolecular forces.

because of the space taken up by the heart.
