Answer:

H2O molecules are thus able to form an average of 4 H-bonds. H2O has a higher boiling point than NH3 because (i) the H-bonds are stronger and (ii) it contains twice as many H-bonds. H2O has a higher boiling point than HF because it contains twice as many H- bonds, despite these being individually weaker.

Step-by-step explanation:
