The critical temperature of water is higher than O2, because the H2O molecules have ______?

Answer: Dipole moment
Explanation
  • Water (H2OH_2O) has a high dipole moment, leading to strong hydrogen bonding between molecules.
  • This increases its critical temperature compared to O2O_2, which has weak intermolecular forces.
