Respuesta :

Water, H₂O, will have the highest melting point.

Explanation:

So here we have listed the hydrides of oxygen, sulphur, selenium and tellurium.

From this elements oxygen have the highest electronegativity and as a consequence the oxigen hydride (water, hydrogen dioxide) it is able to form hydrogen bonds between molecules. So you need more energy to overcome the interactions between molecules in water that for the other compounds.

Water, H₂O, will have the highest melting point between the listed hydrides.
