Explanation / Answer

protic acids are high boiling due to their hydrogen bonded polymeric forms. ionic salts are have very strong lattice energy. so they are high boiling than covalent molecules which interacts within them only via weak van der Waal force. HF has high boiling point than HCl because HF forms stronger hydrogen bonding
