Q:
A) Dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3) | B) Methanol (CH3OH) |
C) Methane (CH4) | D) None |
Answer: B) Methanol (CH3OH)
Explanation:
Explanation:
Chemical Compounds with stronger intermolecular forces have higher boiling points.
The order of strengths of intermolecular forces is:
London dispersion < dipole-dipole < H-bonding
Methane (CH4) — London dispersion forces
Dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3) — dipole-dipole attractions
Methanol (CH3OH) — hydrogen bonding
Therefore, Methanol - CH3OH with H-Bonding have highest Boiling Point among the given chemical compounds.
