The bonding of hydrogen

Answered by rilindabazi | 2024-06-10

The high boiling point of water is mainly due to hydrogen bonding, which occurs between water molecules. This intermolecular force requires a significant amount of energy to overcome, leading to the elevated boiling point of water compared to similar molecules. Therefore, the correct answer is a. hydrogen bonding.
