In understanding why group 16 hydrides, other than those in period 2, have a higher boiling point than the hydrides of groups 14, 15, and 17, which of the following are most important to consider?
I.
Dispersion forces
II.
Dipole-dipole forces
III. hydrogen bonding

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Group 16 hydrides, such as H2S, H2Se, and H2Te, have higher boiling points due to stronger dispersion forces and dipole-dipole interactions compared to hydrides in groups 14, 15, and 17.
