Evidence for hydrogen bonds Boiling points of various compounds

Your task The three tables below show the boiling points, Tb, for various compounds that contain hydrogen. 1. On one graph, plot Tb (vertical axis) against period number (horizontal axis) for each of the compounds listed: • •

label the three lines to distinguish between the compounds with the general formulae HX, H2X or XH3; indicate the formulae of the compounds against their points on the graph.

2. Describe your graphs and give reasons for their shapes.

Period number 2 3 4 5 Table 1

Formula H2O H2S H2Se H2Te

Tb(ºC) 100 –61 –42 0

Compounds with the general formula H2X

Period number 2 3 4 5 Table 3

Tb(ºC) 20 –85 –67 –35

Compounds with the general formula HX

Period number 2 3 4 5 Table 2

Formula HF HCl HBr HI

Formula NH3 PH3 AsH3 SbH3

Tb(ºC) –33 –88 –55 –17

Compounds with the general formula XH3
