    Which of the following hydrides has the lowest boiling point?

    A)  \[{{H}_{2}}O\]                                 

    B)  \[{{H}_{2}}S\]

    C)  \[{{H}_{2}}Se\]                                

    D)  \[{{H}_{2}}Te\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Boiling point of \[{{H}_{2}}O>\] Boiling point of \[{{H}_{2}}S\] or \[{{H}_{2}}O\] is liquid and \[{{H}_{2}}S\] is gas. The boiling point of covalent compound increases with increase b.p. but \[{{H}_{2}}O\] is liquid (high b.p) and \[{{H}_{2}}S\] is gas due to presence of  H-bonding between \[{{H}_{2}}O\] molecules. Therefore, \[{{H}_{2}}S\] has lowest boiling point.
