The temperature of evaporation is much higher for water than for alcohol.Without knowing more about the chemistry of alcohol,which of the following is the most logical chemical explanation for this phenomenon?
A) Ionic bonds form between alcohol molecules.These are the weakest type of bond and are easier to break than the hydrogen bonds between water molecules.
B) Alcohol molecules are more cohesive than water molecules.This means that as alcohol molecules evaporate,they pull other alcohol molecules into the air along with them.
C) Fewer hydrogen bonds form between alcohol molecules.As a result,less heat is needed for alcohol molecules to break away from solution and enter the air.
D) Alcohol has a higher surface tension than water.This means that alcohol molecules can easily break away from other alcohol molecules and evaporate at a lower temperature.
