Yes, Bobby is correct

Explanation:

Anomalously high boiling point of water is as a result of the intermolecular forces between the molecules of water.

The intermolecular forces found in water are the very strong hydrogen bonds. The bulk of the physical properties of matter are due to the intermolecular forces that they possess.

Hydrogen bonds are stronger than van der waals forces and they are more effective in binding molecules together into larger units.
Substances whose molecules join via hydrogen bonds have higher boiling points i.e lower volatility than those with van der waals forces.
Hydrogen bond is actually an electrostatic attraction between hydrogen atom of none molecule and the electronegative atom(O or N or F) of a neighboring molecule.
