D. There are weak forces between the molecules



Answer :

GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

Hydrogen chloride has a low boiling point due to weak forces between molecules.


Explanation:

Hydrogen chloride has a low boiling point due to the weak forces between the molecules. In small molecular compounds like HCl, dipole-dipole forces play a role in determining boiling points. These forces are weaker than covalent bonds but important in intermolecular interactions.
