You know the normal boiling point of water. The normal boiling point of hydrogen sulfide is $-60$ $""^@C$; that of hydrogen selenide is $-41.2$ $""^@C$; that of hydrogen telluride is $-2.2$ $""^@C$. What do these boiling points suggest with respect to the extent of intermolecular hydrogen ? This is reinforced by the fact that as the central atom of the molecule gets larger, the boiling point should increase on the basis of stronger dispersion forces.
