The following graph shows the trend in boiling point of the hydrogen compounds of the group 16 elements of the periodic table

1) Use the graph to predict the boiling point of water if H2O followed the trend of the other compounds instead of boiling at 100’C
2) All of the molecules in the graph have the same shape. Identify the shape
3) Refer to intermolecular bonding to explain why H2O does not follow the trend of the other hydrogen compounds.
Please help I dont have a teacher to ask because Im doing this online and Im confused and need help..Thank you in advance

1) about -60oC
2) triangular
3) Only H2O has intermolecular hydrogen bonding - look up hydrogen bonds to see why.
Hint - oxygen is very electronegative).
