Which compound has the lowest normal boiling point? a) hf b) hcl c) hbr d) hi

The compound with the lowest boiling point is (d) HI

There is one s orbital, and there are three p orbitals, five d orbitals, and seven f orbitals. thus, the answer is b. do not confuse the number of orbitals in a subshell with the number of electrons the subshell can hold. each orbital can hold two electrons, so the capacity of an nf subshell is 14 electrons.
