Question
Chapter 21, Problem 59E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the high boiling point of alcohols
Concept introduction:
The boiling point of a compound is dependent upon the intermolecular forces present in it. Inter-molecular forces are defined as the forces acting between the particles (atoms and molecules). As the strength of the intermolecular force increases, the boiling point increases. There are different types of intermolecular forces namely, dipole-dipole interactions, ion-dipole interactions, dipole-induced dipole, dispersion forces, and hydrogen bonding.
