Question

Which substance in the table below has the strongest intermolecular forces

Answer 1

The strongest intermolecular bonding is hydrogen bonding. The hydrogen bonding is the electrostatic bonding between hydrogen atom and any of the electronegative atoms, such as Oxygen, Nitrogen and Flourine. The strength of H-F bonding is strongest, then H-N and then H-O bond.

Answer 2

Answer : Option A) HF.

Explanation : Assuming the complete question as per the attachment.

H-F bonds are formed because of hydrogen bonding between H atom and F atom and is considered to be strongest amongst the rest other options given.

As given in the table it is clear that the molar mass of HF molecule is the lowest. It shows that, when dispersion increases in the molecule molecular weight also increases.
