Question
The critical temperature of water is higher than that of O2 because the H2O molecule has :
Options
A.fewer electrons than O2
B.two convalent bonds
C.V-shape
D.dipole moment
Solution
Due to V-shape, H2O is polar and dipole-dipole attactions are responsible for its hight critical temperature.
