Chemistry · Elementary idea of metallic bonding, hydrogen bonding and its applications
The high boiling point of water is due to:
The high boiling point of water is due to:
- A. its high specific heat
- B. hydrogen bonding
- C. high dielectric constant
- D. low dissociation constant
Step-by-step solution
Water's high boiling point is primarily due to hydrogen bonding, which requires additional energy to overcome the intermolecular forces between water molecules.
