Answer: Due to the presence of hydrogen bonding in HF
Explanation: HF has high boiling point than HCl as HF molecules are bonded by strong hydrogen bonding between the hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative fluorine atom.
In HCl, the hydrogen bonding cannot be formed in-spite of the presence of electronegative chlorine as the size of chlorine atom is too large, such that its electron density is too low to form hydrogen bonds.
Thus HF is a high boiling liquid than HCl.
