Ethanol

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The boiling point of a compound depends on the strength of intermolecular forces. $Ethanol$ $(CH_3CH_2OH)$ has a higher molecular mass compared to $Methanol$ $(CH_3OH)$ and exhibits strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding. $Acetone$ and $Diethyl$ $ether$ have weaker intermolecular forces (dipole-dipole and London dispersion forces,respectively) compared to the hydrogen bonding present in alcohols. Among the given options,$Ethanol$ has the highest boiling point due to its larger molecular size and strong hydrogen bonding.
