The boiling points for several hydrogen halides are listed. $\mathrm{H\text{-}Cl}$: $188\,\text{K}$, $\mathrm{H\text{-}Br}$: $206\,\text{K}$, $\mathrm{H\text{-}I}$: $238\,\text{K}$. Explain the reason for the trend in boiling point from $\mathrm{HCl}$ to $\mathrm{HI}$?
- AThe bond energies of the hydrogen halides increase from $\mathrm{HCl}$ to $\mathrm{HI}$.
- BThere is an increase in the strength of the intermolecular forces of attraction from $\mathrm{HCl}$ to $\mathrm{HI}$.
- CThe intermolecular hydrogen bonds become stronger from $\mathrm{HCl}$ to $\mathrm{HI}$.
- DThere is an increase in the bond polarity from $\mathrm{HCl}$ to $\mathrm{HI}$.
