The comparatively high b.pt. of HF is due toA. high reactivity of fluorineB. small size of hydrogen atomC. formation of hydrogen bonds and consequent associationD. high IE of fluorine

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Intramolecular hydrogen bonding is found in `(HF)_(n)` due to higher electronegativity of fluorine atoms.
`underset("hydrogen bonding")(......H-F......H-F....H-F.....)`
Hydrogen bonding is helpful in the association of HF molecule, so HF is found in liquid form.
