HF acid has a lower boiling point compared to H2O because     Question options: a.   No, HF should have higher boiling point because F is more electronegative than O thus stronger hydrogen bond in HF   b.   Both HF and H2O have equal boiling points.   c.   HF is an a strong acid   d.   Each H2O molecule form 4 hydrogen bonds resulting in stronger accumulative intermolecular forces   e.   H2O is bent shape so it requires more energy to boil it compared to HF linear shape
