Compared to ethanal (MW=44), which of the following compounds has a higher boiling point due to stronger intermolecular forces?
Q1. Compared to ethanal (MW=44), which of the following compounds has a higher boiling point due to stronger intermolecular forces?
Answer: Ethanol
Explanation: Aldehydes have higher boiling points than alkanes due to dipole-dipole forces but lower than alcohols which have hydrogen bonding.
