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 ethyl alcohol is a liquid while ethyl chloride is a gas?

Ethyl alcohol is a liquid because strong hydrogen bonding in it brings the molecules closer together while methyl chloride does not form hydrogen bonding,weaker forces exist between molecules of methyl and chloride due to which they lie at distance from each other till gas form.


Why methanol boil at high temperature than dimethyl ether?

bcoz of the intermolecular hydrogen bonding in methyl alcohol the vapour pressure of the molecule equalises the atmospheric pressure at higher temperatures. there is no hydrogen bonding in dimethyl ether and hence the molecule escapes at relatively lower temperatures.


What elements are in methyl alcohol?

Methyl alcohol, or methanol, has the formula CH4O, or CH3OH. It contains the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The functional group that makes it an alcohol is the -OH group.


Can CH3 be involved in a hydrogen bond formation between moleules?

Not typically. The C-H bond does not have a large enough dipole moment to allow for the methyl group to participate in hydrogen bonding.


Why is CH3OH methyl alcohol?

In chemistry CH3 is the methyl group and OH is the alcohol group so CH3OH is methyl alcohol etc.


Is methyl octane alcohol alkane or alkenes?

Alcohol is an Oxygen atom double-bonded to a carbonyl group. As such, there is no such thing as 'Methyl Octane Alcohol'. However, there is Methyl Alcohol and Octyl Alcohol. Please edit your question. Also: If you are asking if Methyl Alcohol is miscible (dissoluble) in octane, it is. Alkanes are hydrocarbons only, so both octane and the methyl group in methanol (methyl alcohol) are alkanes.


How many atoms of oxygen does wood alcohol?

One oxygen atom is in each alcohol molecule. This is true of methyl (wood) alcohol, ethyl, propyl or isopropyl alcohol and all of the alcohols based on a simple hydrocarbon chain (acyclic alcohols).


Why ethyl alcohol is a liquid while methyl chloride is a gas?

hydrogen bonding. Water has a very strong covalent bond which creates partial positive and negative charges on the Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms in the water molecule so that an adjacent water molecule will be attracted very strongly keeping the water as a liquid while methane has nonpolar covalent bonds. These molecules have no distinct positive or negative ends and almost no intermolecular attractions, so methane is a gas.


What is the boling point of methyl alcohol?

The boiling point of methyl alcohol (methanol) is 64.7oC.


Is methyl hydrate the same as methyl alcohol?

Yes, it is


The most acidic compound is methyl alcohol?

No, methyl alcohol is generally not viewed as an acid at all.
