Which of the following will have the highest boiling point?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compound with the highest boiling point will have the strongest intermolecular forces. This is because a stronger force requires more energy to break the bonds and transition to a gas phase. Option C, HOCH₂-CH₂OH, contains hydrogen bonding which is the strongest of all intermolecular forces. Option A and D only have London dispersion forces, while option B has hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole forces, but not as strong as option C.
