Q. Which of the following compounds would have the highest boiling point?
A) $CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}CH_{3}$
B) $CH_{3}NH_{2}$
C) $CH_{3}OH$
D) $CH_{2}F_{2}$
Explanation
(c)
Among the given, only $CH_{3}OH$ and
C$H_{3}NH_{2}$ are able to form H-bonds but H-bonding in $CH_{3}OH$ due to high electronegativity of O-atom is strong. Hence, $CH_{3}OH$ has the highest boiling point.
