MCQ+4 / -12024
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The boiling point of hydrides of Group 16 elements follow the order
\(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Te}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Se}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{S} \text {. }\)
Statement II: On the basis of molecular mass, \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\) is expected to have lower boiling point than the other members of the group but due to the presence of extensive \(\mathrm{H}\)-bonding in \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\), it has higher boiling point.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
