Answer:

HF

Explanation:

This concept can be understood from the knowledge of Intermolecular forces of attraction.

Intermolecular bonds are Van der Waals forces which are weak forces of attraction joining non-polar and polar molecules together. They exist in the form of London Dispersion Forces and Dipole-dipole attraction.

An example of Dipole-dipole attraction is the hydrogen bond which is a unique dipole-dipole attraction between polar molecules in which a hydrogen atom is directly joined to a highly electronegative atom such as fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen).

Molecules that possess the characteristics of hydrogen bonding have a higher boiling point. In the given question, only HF undergo hydrogen bond due to the electronegative effect of the fluorine element.

F2 occurs as a weak London dispersion force and it occurs between non-polar molecules.

372 mL is the volume of Aluminum, density is 2.70 g/mL what is the mass in grams
podryga [215]

Answer:

930 g

Explanation:

D = m/V     Multiply both sides by V

m = VD

<em>Data: </em>

V = 372 cm³

D = 2.70 g/cm³

<em>Calculation: </em>

m = 372 × 2.50

m = 930 g

The mass of Al is 930 g.
