#hydride boiling point

1 public question tagged with this topic.

Which group 16 element forms a hydride with the lowest boiling point?

Boiling points of group 16 hydrides increase with molecular weight, except for H₂O (hydrogen bonding). H₂S has the lowest boiling point among H₂O, H₂S, H₂Se, and H₂Te due to weak intermolecular forces.
