The boiling point of water is about 200 degrees Celcius higher than one would predict from the boiling points of hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen selenide. One may explain this apparent anomaly by which of the following?
Options:
Water is less polar than hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen selenide.
The intermolecular forces are much greater in water than in hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen selenide.
Water has the lowest molecular weight.
The H-O covalent bond is much stronger than the H-S and H-Se bonds.
The water molecule is lighter than the other two molecules.
