What is to blame for water’s boiling point (100°c) being higher than the boiling points of similar substances?
helium bonds
electrode bonds
molecular shape
hydrogen bonds
Hydrogen bonds also explain why water’s boiling point (100°C) is higher than the boiling points of similar substances without hydrogen bonds. Because of water’s relatively high boiling point, most water exists in a liquid state on Earth. Liquid water is needed by all living organisms. Therefore, the availability of liquid water enables life to survive over much of the planet.
