The presence of lone pairs on highly electronegative atoms like N, O and F in hydrides results in hydrogen bond formation between the molecules. This leads to the association of molecules. 

Hence, the boiling points of the hydrides of group 16 will be higher than the hydrides of their subsequent group members group 14.
