### Boiling Point Comparison of Various Molecules #### Question: A substance made of which of the following molecules would have the highest expected boiling point? #### Molecules: 1. **Methanol** - Chemical formula: \( H_3C \text{--} OH \) - Structural diagram: ``` H | H - C - OH | H ``` 2. **Methandiol** - Chemical formula: \( H_2C(OH)_2 \) - Structural diagram: ``` H | H - C - OH | OH ``` 3. **Benzene** - Chemical formula: \( C_6H_6 \) - Structural diagram: ``` H H \ / H - C C - H | | H - C C - H / \ H H ``` 4. **Nitrogen Gas** - Chemical formula: \( N \equiv N \) - Structural diagram: ``` N ≡ N ``` #### Options: - \( \bigcirc \) Nitrogen gas - \( \bigcirc \) Methandiol - \( \bigcirc \) Benzene - \( \bigcirc \) Methanol ### Detailed Explanation of the Molecules - **Methanol** is a simple alcohol with one hydroxyl (-OH) group. - **Methandiol** (1,1-Dihydroxymethane) contains two hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to a single carbon atom. - **Benzene** is an aromatic hydrocarbon with a six-carbon ring structure. - **Nitrogen Gas** is a diatomic molecule with a triple bond between the two nitrogen atoms. ### Answer Key: *(To reveal the answer on the educational website)* **Answer: Methandiol** Methandiol is expected to have the highest boiling point among the listed molecules because it has two hydroxyl groups, which lead to extensive hydrogen bonding, requiring more energy (higher temperature) to break these intermolecular forces.
