Answer:
H₂O
Explanation:
Based electronegativity, water H₂O will have the higher melting point from the given choices. The binding force between hydrogen and oxygen is greater than for the others.
- In group 6, oxygen has the highest electronegativity.
- It pulls the shared electron closer in the bond.
- The high electronegativity between hydrogen and oxygen causes the elevated melting point between the two species.
