Given information
The given compounds (a. H2S b. H2Se c. H2O) are to be arranged in the increasing order of their boiling point.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
The boiling point of compounds relies upon the molecular weight, intermolecular forces present in the compounds. The intermolecular forces are the forces that exist in between the two or more atoms in a compound. Due to strong intermolecular forces, the molecule will require more energy to break the bonds. The compounds that have ionic bonding and hydrogen bonding will possess a high boiling point.
