The boiling point of methanol is greater than methyl thiol because

A

There is intramolecular hydrogen bonding in methanol and intermolecular hydrogen bonding in methyl thiol

B

There is intermolecular hydrogen bonding in methanol and no hydrogen bonding in methyl thiol.

C

There is no hydrogen bonding in methanol and intermolecular hydrogen bonding in methyl thiol

D

There is no hydrogen bonding in methanol and intramolecular hydrogen bonding in methyl thiol.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In methanol `(CH_3OH)` intermolecular H-bonding increases the b.pt. S with less electronegativity (than O) and larger atomic size (than O) can not take part in H-bonding as methyl thiol `(CH_3SH)` has lower b.pt. than `CH_3OH`.

The boiling point of methanol is greater than that of Methyl thiol because

Dimethyl ether and ethanol has same molecular weight but boiling point of ethanol is greater than dimethyl ether, cause of this is that dimethyl ether-

In general boiling point of covalent compounds is affect due to increasing molecular weight and hydrogen bonding. Thus it is obversed 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, anamalous behaviour of water below 4^(@)C ., It is therefore concluded that hydrogen bonding palys a vutal role in explaning many observable facts.
