Best Answer

Hydrogen bonding is a very strong intermolecular attraction for one water molecule to another. Hydrogen sulfide, because of the lower electronegativity of sulfur does not have hydrogen bonding. This strong attraction must be overcome to make the substance boil.

Why hydrogen has different boiling point than hydrogen chloride?

Because hydrogen is an element but hydrogen chloride is a polar compound so needs more energy to overcome the permanent dipole bonds. :)


Will a compound with a boiling of 68C is likely to be a network structure or in the form of individual molecules?

Because the boiling point of the compound is relatively low, the compound is likely to be in the form of individual molecules.


How is high melting and boiling points related to the structure of the compounds?

The structure of a compound will dictate what intermolecular forces hold the molecules together. The stronger these forces, the higher will be the boiling point.

Water has an unusually high boiling point?

Water has an unusually high boiling point compared to other molecules of similar size due to the hydrogen bonds that form between the water molecules. The hydrogen bonds must be broken before water can boil.


What is the boiling points of a hydrogen bond?

There is no single boiling point. A variety of substances can form hydrogen bonds, all with different boiling points.
