A) co-ordinate bonding
B) covalent bond
C) electrostatic force of attraction
D) hydrogen bonding
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
The higher boiling point of water is due to hydrogen bonding. Each \[O-\]atom of each \[{{H}_{2}}O-\]atoms of the adjacent \[{{H}_{2}}O\] molecule by \[H-\]bonding. \[H-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ O \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{O}}\,---H-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ H \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{O}}\,---H-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ H \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{O}}\,---H-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ H \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{O}}\,--\] H-bonding in water molecules
