Question

Why HF is liquid but HCl is gas​

Answer 1

Answer:

pls mark brainliest. hope this helps

Explanation:

Due to greater electronegativity of F over Cl, F forms stronger H-bonds as compared to Cl. As a result, more energy is needed to break the H-bonds in HF than in HCl and hence the b.p. of HF is higher than that of HCl. Consequently, H-F is liquid while HCl is a gas at room temperature.
