Given below are two statements:Statement I: The boiling point of hydrides of Group 16 elements follows the order .Statement II: has the highest boiling point due to extensive hydrogen bonding.
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are false
- BStatement I is true but Statement II is false
- CStatement I is false but Statement II is true
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are true
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
1. Usually, boiling points increase with molecular mass due to increasing Van der Waals forces. Order based on mass: .2. However, has exceptionally high boiling point because of strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding.The combined order is . Both statements are correct.
