Given below are two statements :
Statement I: The boiling point of hydrides of Group 16 elements follow the order 
\(\text{H}_2 \text{O}>\text{H}_2 \text{Te}>\text{H}_2 \text{Se}>\text{H}_2 \text{S} .\)
Statement II: On the basis of molecular mass, H2O is expected to have lower boiling point than the other members of the group but due to the presence of extensive H-bonding in H2O, it has higher boiling point. 
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
2. Statement I is true and Statement II is false
3. Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
4. Both Statement I and Statement II are true.

In the light of the below statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Statement I: Acid strength increases in the order given as HF < HCl < HBr < HI.
Statement II: As the size of the elements F, Cl, Br, I increases down the group, the bond strength of HF, HCI, HBr, and HI decreases and so the acid strength increases.
 
1. Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect
2. Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct.
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
4. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
