Question

Show the trend of boiling point of hydrides of group 16(oxygen family)

Answer 1

Bonds between hydrogen and Group 16 atoms are covalent so the hydridesof Group 16 elements are covalent molecules. Group 16 hydridemolecules have a bent shape. ... The melting point and boiling point of water (H2O) molecules is unexpectedly high due to the stronger hydrogen bonds acting between water molecules.
