Given below are two statements:
Statement I : The boiling point of hydrides of Group 16 elements follow the order
\(H_2O > H_2Te > H_2Se > H_2S\).
Statement II : On the basis of molecular mass, \(H_2O\) is expected to have lower boiling point than the other members of the group but due to the presence of extensive H-bonding in \(H_2O\), it has higher boiling point.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
4. Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
