Consider the following experimental boiling points: HF: 20°C HCl: -85°C HBr: -67°C HI: -35°C Which of the following statements is correct for this set of compounds and supported by the data given? Select as many as applicable however points will be deducted for incorrect choices. Select one or more: The molecule with the strongest intermolecular forces is HI The molecule with the strongest intermolecular forces is HF HF has the highest boiling point because of hydrogen bonding HF has the highest boiling point because it is the most polarizable of the four compounds The high boiling point of HF is due to dipole/dipole forces, which are absent in the other three compounds The boiling point trend for HCl, HBr and HI can mostly be explained by the strength of dispersion forces
