The electron cloud of hf is smaller than that of f2, however, hf has a much higher boiling point than f2 has. which of the following explains how the dispersion-force model of intermolecular attraction does not account for the unusually high boiling point of hf?

a. f2 is soluble in water, whereas hf is insoluble in water.
b. the f2 molecule has a greater mass than the hf molecule has.
c. liquid f2 has weak dispersion force attractions between its molecules, whereas liquid hf has strong ionic interactions between h+ and f- ions.
d. 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.
