The correct answer is the option -B-HF has higher polarity than water as fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen-In HF molecule- only one H atom can form H bonds whereas in water molecule- two H atoms can form hydrogen bonds- Hence- the number of hydrogen bonds formed by one water molecule is twice the number of hydrogen bonds formed by one HF molecule- Higher-xA0- is the number of hydrogen bonds- higher is the boiling point-

H2O has a higher boiling point than HF. Which among the following is the right reason ?H2O is more polar than HFH2O can form more hydrogen bondsH2O does not have a higher boiling point than HFH2O has a higher molecular weightH2O has more atoms
