The greater the forces of attraction, higher the boiling point or the greater the polarity the higher the boiling point. Water having strong molecular forces between water molecules makes the force, this force holds one water molecule to the next. The inter-molecular forces between water are called hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds are special type of dipole-dipole force that exists between an electronegative atom and a hydrogen atom bonded to another electronegative atom. It takes a lot more kinetic energy in an increased temperature to break the hydrogen bonds to free the water molecules as the gas making higher boiling points. Its ability to form Hydrogen Bonds with itself.

what are the changes in the boiling point of water in high air pressure?
The boiling point increase at high pressure.
Which intermolecular force would cause the highest boiling point?
van der waals force
Why does hydrogen fluoride have a higher boiling point than hydrogen chloride?
The small size and high electronegativity of Fluorine is responsible for high polarity in HF molecules this high polarity is responsible for strong hydrogen bonding with in HF molecules so high amount of heat is required to convert the liquid HF into gaseous state and hence it has high boiling point as compare to HCl.Polar.
Why does oxygen have a low boiling point?
because it does not have a high boiling point.
Which one of these have a high boiling point CH3Cl or K2S?
K2S will have high boiling point than CH3Cl.
Does water have a high boiling point?
Water has a boiling point of 100 degrees celcius. This is about average compared to the boiling point of other substances.
what are the changes in the boiling point of water in high air pressure?
The boiling point increase at high pressure.
What is the high boiling point of water?

Where on earth where the boiling point of water is lower?
high altitude
Why does water have a high boiling point that bromine?
Because water is more dense
Which intermolecular force would cause the highest boiling point?
van der waals force
Why does water molecule have a high boiling point and melting point?
hydrogen bonding increases the intermolecular attractions and therefore increases the boiling point and melting point.
Does vinegar have a high boiling point than water?
yes because water has nothing in it
Is the boiling point of metalloids high?
The boiling point of metalloids is not so high.
Why does water have a higher melting point than oxygen?
Water has a high melting point and boiling point because of hydrogen bonds
What is the boiling point of antifrezze?
This coolant has a high boiling point of 370 °F and is not corrosive, solving many of water's problems including freezing.
Is the boiling point of covalent compounds high or low?
high boiling point low melting point
