The boiling points of the hydrides of groups 15, 16 and 17 are stored in three lists, from period 2 to period 5. In each group, the hydride of period 2 can form hydrogen bonds. You will find how far it stands above the hydride of period 3, and which group shows the biggest jump.
The idea. Without hydrogen bonds, the lightest hydride would boil lowest. A big positive jump from period 3 to period 2 shows strong hydrogen bonding.
Your tasks.
