\n2.Talking about the options, first is related to the bond energy. The bond energy is required to break the bond. In the hydrogen halides, requires a large amount of energy due to the presence of strong hydrogen bonding. \n3.Now, if we talk about the nuclear shielding, and the electronegativity, in there is the attraction of electrons, so it shows the high electronegativity, and it is a very polar molecule. \n4.We can conclude that the boiling point of molecule is higher due to the presence of strong hydrogen bonding between molecules. \n \nHence, the correct option is B. \n \n"},"encodingFormat":"text/html","position":1,"text":"There is strong hydrogen bonding between \n molecules."},"comment":{"@type":"Comment","text":"HF shows hydrogen bonding."},"eduQuestionType":"Multiple choice","encodingFormat":"text/markdown","learningResourceType":"Practice problem","suggestedAnswer":[{"@type":"Answer","comment":{"@type":"Comment","text":"It is a wrong option."},"encodingFormat":"text/html","position":0,"text":"The electronegativity of fluorine is much higher than for other elements in the group."},{"@type":"Answer","comment":{"@type":"Comment","text":"It is a wrong option."},"encodingFormat":"text/html","position":2,"text":"The bond energy of molecules is greater than in other hydrogen halides."},{"@type":"Answer","comment":{"@type":"Comment","text":"It is a wrong option."},"encodingFormat":"text/html","position":3,"text":"The effect of nuclear shielding is much reduced in fluorine which polarizes the molecule."}],"text":"The variation of the boiling points of the hydrogen halides is in the order .
