Chemistry Question on p -Block Elements
Statement I: The boiling points of the following hydrides of group 16 elements increases in the order - H2O < H2S < H2Se < H2Te
Statement II: The boiling points of these hydrides increases with increase in molar mass.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
A
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
B
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
C
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
D
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
Answer
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
Explanation
Solution
Boiling point of H2O is maximum due to hydrogen bonding
So, both S-I and S-II are false
