The electron cloud of HF is smaller than that of

, however, HF has a much higher boiling point than

has. Which of the following explains how the dispersion -force model of intermolecular attraction does not account for the usually high boiling point of HF? The boiling point of HF is 293 K and

is 85 K . Liquid F2 has weak dispersion force attractions between its molecules, whereas liquid HF has both weak dispersion force attractions and hydrogen bonding interactions between its molecules. The

molecule has a greater mass than the HF molecule has

is soluble in water, whereas HF is insoluble in water Liquid F2 has weak dispersion forces attractions between its molecules, whereas. HF has strong ionic
