Best Answer

H2O (water) has a higher melting point and boiling point than CO2 because of the hydrogen bonds that exist between the water molecules. The hydrogen bonds are strong intermolecular forces (though they are classified as a weak bond), and help to hold separate water molecules together. Thus, the boiling point of water is higher than carbon dioxide, though they are similar in composition and mass.
