What is the dominant intermolecular forces or bond that must be overcome in converting liquid `CH_(3)OH` to gas ?

A

Dipole-dipole interaction

B

Covalent bond

C

London forces

D

Hydrogen bonding

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The molecules of `CH_(3)OH` are held together by intermolecular hydrogen bonding because `H` is directly attached to the highly electronegative `O` atom.
