Why is HF a liquid when H2 is a gas?
The principal reason is the hydrogen bonding between HF molecules. The second reason is that London dispersion forces will be higher in HF because it has more electrons than H2
Explain the different between Hf and HF?
Hf is the element hafnium. A dense gray metal. HF is the compound hydrogen fluoride, a toxic, acidic gas.
Is HF and acid base or salt?
HF is a weak acid.
What equation show exothermic reaction?
Hf, reactants > Hf, products
Is HF hydrogen bonding?
HF molecules form hydrogen bonds.
Why is HF a liquid when H2 is a gas?

Kinds of attractive forces that need to be overcome to dissolve CsI in HF?
kjkjk
What kind of bonds are broken when HF vaporizes?
Hydrogen bonds
Which of the following molecules would have the most unsymmetrical attractive forces Br2 H2O HF F2 H2?
H2o
How is Hf related to the H of a reaction?
The Hreaction is the difference between Hf, products and Hf, reactants
Why is water a liquid at room temperature whereas ammonia is a gas at room temperature?
The answer lies in what is know as intermolecular forces. There three basic types: london dispersion forces (which all molecules have), dipole to dipole forces and hydrogen bonding. The stronger these forces the more the molecules have a tendancy to stick together. I listed the forces from weakest to strongest. Since water has hydrogen bonding its intermolecukar forces are the strongest and over powers the atmospheric forces and energies trying to tear the molecules away from eachother. Ammonias intermolecular forces are not strong enough under normal temperature and pressure so the molecules and individual gas molecules.
Is HF acid?
No, it is not ionic. HF is covalent.
Which has a higher boiling point HI or HCl?
HI has a higher boiling point because of the dipole-dipole Intermolecular forces as well as the dispersion forces, which become more evident with molecular weight, which will dominate over the dipole-dipole forces, so HCl has a lower boiloing point.
Why is hydrofluoric acid a weak acid?
degree of ionization refers to the strength of acid. HF, as it has very strong intra-molecular forces of attraction that don't let it to release H+ ion so its degree of ionization is low. That's why HF is a weak acid.
What is the compound HF?
HF is hydrogen fluoride.
How does the Hreaction relate to the Hf of molecules involved in a reaction?
Hreaction = Hf, products - Hf, reactants
Explain the different between Hf and HF?
Hf is the element hafnium. A dense gray metal. HF is the compound hydrogen fluoride, a toxic, acidic gas.
