Chemistry · Elementary idea of metallic bonding, hydrogen bonding and its applications
Butane has a boiling point to that of propanol.
Butane has a \( _{--}-_{-}--_{-} \) boiling point to that of propanol.
- A. higher
- B. similar
- C. lower
- D. none of these
Step-by-step solution
Butane is a nonpolar hydrocarbon with only London dispersion forces, while propanol has an -OH group that can form hydrogen bonds, which are much stronger intermolecular forces. Hence, propanol has a higher boiling point, so butane's boiling point is lower.
