HF is electronegative compared to O2. HF has delta plus and delta minus creating a dipole moment, it is a polar molecule therefore it has a higher boiling point.

O2 which is symmetrical and non polar (looks like O=O) and therefore has no dipole moment.

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.


Which member of of theawe pairs of substances would you expect to have a higher boiling point a o2 or n2 b so2 or CO2 c hf or hi?

O2, SO2, HF.. im positive, just did a webassign if you know what that is but its right...


Why is the boiling point of HI higher than HBr?

This is to do with the intermolecular forces in the two compounds. There are no hydrogen bonds between the molecules of either compound, since Br and I are not electronegative enough to polarise the molecules sufficiently. But since HI molecules contain more electrons than HBr, there are increased van der Waals forces in HI. For the same reason HBr has a higher boiling point than HCl, but HF has a higher boiling point than HCl, HBr or HI because of hydrogen bonding.


Which is the strongest acid among HFHClHBr and HI?

HI is more stronger acid while H2Te is almost neutral.


Why does hydrogen iodide have a higher boiling temperature than hydrogen bromide?

There is no hydrogen bonding in HBr and HI. The intermolecular forces are London dispersion forces- HI has more electrons, so more instantaneous induced dipole-dipole interaction- more intermolecular force- and therefore a higher boiling point.


Which compound below has the lowest boiling point at standard pressure AlI3 NaI MgI2 HI?

HI has the lowest boiling point because it is covalent all other mentioned compounds rae ionic....


What is an acid with one hydrogen?

Examples are: HCl, HNO3, HF, HI.


Compare the strength of hydrogen bond in HF HCl HBr HI?

HF > HCl > HBr > HI Hydrogen-bond strength is determined by the electronegativity difference; since fluorine has the smallest radius, it exerts the greatest attractive force over the H+ cation, creating the strongest bond.


What Acids contain fluoride and iodide anions?

Hydroiodic acid (HI) is an acid which contains the iodide anion. Likewise, hydrofluoric acid (HF) is an acid which contains the fluoride anion. HF is a weak acid, although HI (like HCl and HBr) is a strong acid.

Why HI acid is stronger than HF acid?

Yes, acidity of the hydrides increases down group 17. This is largely because the bond strength of the hydride decreases as we go down the group, making it easier to break the bond and form ions.http://depts.washington.edu/eooptic/links/acidstrength.html
