    In the series of bivalent hydrides of sixteenth group elements

    A)  volatility increases from\[{{H}_{2}}O\]to\[{{H}_{2}}S\]and then decreases

    B)  volatility increases from\[{{H}_{2}}O\]to \[{{H}_{2}}Se\]

    C)  volatility decreases from\[{{H}_{2}}O\]to\[{{H}_{2}}Se\]

    D)  none of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    : Volatility increases abruptly from\[{{H}_{2}}O\]to \[{{H}_{2}}S\] and then decreases from\[{{H}_{2}}S\]to\[{{H}_{2}}Te\]. Abnormally low volatility of\[{{H}_{2}}O\]is due to hydrogen bonding other elements, being less electronegative, do not form hydrogen bonding, their hydrides are gases.
