The boiling point of methanol is greater than that of 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 intramolecular hydrogen bonding in methanol and no hydrogen bonding in methyl thiol

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Methanol has high boiling point than methyl thiol because there is intermolecular hydrogen bonding in methanol and no hydrogen bonding in methyl thiol.

The boiling point of para nitrophenol is greater than that of ortho nitrophenol, because

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.
