In general boiling point of covalent compounds is effected due to increasing molecular weight and hydrogen bonding. Thus it is observed that the boiling point of octanol is greater that water while that of methanol is lesser than water. The other properties which are considerably affected due to hydrogen bond formation are acidic nature, melting point, anomalous behaviour of water below 4ºC., It is therefore concluded that hydrogen bonding plays a vital role in explaining many observable facts.
Which among the following has maximum boiling point ?
- CH3 – CH2 – (CH2)2 – CH2OH



Answer
(A) CH 3 – CH 2 – (CH 2 ) 2 – CH 2 OH
