Based upon attractive forces, which would have a higher boiling point. F_2 or HF? F_2 has a
higher boiling point HF has a higher boiling point both neither
Solution
HF has higher boiling point
The boiling points of discrete molecules depend on the intermolecular attractive forces. HF gas
has a much higher boiling point because HF exhibits hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole attraction
and London dispersion forces, as do all molecules. F2 gas, which is a nonpolar molecule, only
exhibits much weak London dispersion forces, and has a much lower boiling point..
