Given below are two statements: Statement I: The boiling point of hydrides of Group 16 elements follow the order H₂O > H₂Te > H₂Se > H₂S. Statement II: On the basis of molecular mass, H₂O is expected to have a lower boiling point than the other members of the group but due to the presence of extensive H-bonding in H₂O, it has a higher boiling point. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
medium
Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
2024
chemistry
Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
Explanation
To solve this problem, we need to analyze the boiling points of the hydrides of Group 16 elements and the reasons behind them.Statement I: The boiling point of hydrides of Group 16 elements follows the order H2O>H2
