What type of bonding is found in methanol CH4Ol?
Methanol, CH3OH (CH4O) is a covalent molecular compound. It is liquid under normal conditions and there is hydrogen bonding between molecules
What substance beside water can be involve in hydrogen bonding?
hydrogen fluoride Alcohols like methanol, ethanol. Solvents like dimethyl formamide (DMF) or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)
What type of bonding does methanol have?
it has hydrogen bond (H-O)
Why is methane insoluble but methanol is soluble?
Generally speaking 'like dissolves like' so when you thinking if a molecule can dissolve in a particular solvent, you need to decide what type of bonding that solvent can exhibit and what bonding the molecule in question exhibits. So for example water can exhibit hydrogen bonding. This means for something to be able soluble in water, it too needs to be able to exhibit hydrogen bonding. Methane only contains hydrogen and carbon and thus, will not exhibit hydrogen bonding. However, methanol has carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and therefore, can exhibit hydrogen bonding. As a result, using the 'like dissolve like' approach we can see why methane will be insoluble in water but methanol will be soluble.
In terms of bonding why does ethanol and water miscible?
The polar group -OH of ethanol is bonded to water by hydrogen bonds.
What type of bonding is found in methanol CH4Ol?
Methanol, CH3OH (CH4O) is a covalent molecular compound. It is liquid under normal conditions and there is hydrogen bonding between molecules
Is ethanol considered to be hygroscopic?
Hygroscopic substances include cellulose fiber such as ethanol, methanol and diesel fuel. As hydrogen bonding causes pure ethanol to readily absorbs water from the air, ethanol is considered to be hygroscopic.
What substance beside water can be involve in hydrogen bonding?
hydrogen fluoride Alcohols like methanol, ethanol. Solvents like dimethyl formamide (DMF) or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)
What is more polar ethanol or water?
Methanol because the longer the side chains the less polar it becomes
Why does methanol have a lower boiling point than ethanol?
Methanol and ethanol differ only by one carbon and 2 hydrogens. Both have the hydroxyl group and, thus, have hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole interactions. What makes them different are their London forces (London forces are directly proportional to the number of electrons in a molecule and molecular size). Since methanol is smaller than ethanol, there is a smaller intermolecular London force. Less force holing the molecules together means they're easier to be pulled apart, which implies a lower boiling point.
What type of bonding does methanol have?
it has hydrogen bond (H-O)
What type of intermolecular forces exist in alcohol?
Hydrogen bond form the intermolecular forces in methyl alcohol. That's the reason why methyl alcohol is soluble in water.
Why ethanol has high boiling point than diethyl-ether?
Ethanol has intermolecular hydrogen bonding where as diethylether does not have this kind of bonding. So BP of ethanol is higher than diethylether.

Does ch3oh shows hydrogen bonding?
Yes, Hydrogen bonding is a hydrogen bonded to any Fluorine, Nitrogen or Oxygen.
In terms of bonding why does ethanol and water miscible?
The polar group -OH of ethanol is bonded to water by hydrogen bonds.
Which compound do not have hydrogen bonding?
(ch3)3n
