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.

∙ 11y agoEthyl 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.

∙ 14y agoThe molecular formula of methyl alcohol is CH3OH. Oxygen atom being highly electronegative forms H-bond in the molecular structure. This additional force causes methyl alcohol to be liquid at room temperature. Since methane molecule do not have any such additional force, it is a gas

∙ 7y agoMethane (CH4) is a gas because it is a simple molecule that is symmetrical, and has only dispersion intermolecular forces holding the molecules together. When iodine (I) is added to make methyl iodide (CH3I), the molecule now becomes partially polar because I is more electronegative than C so it becomes partially negative. This creates a dipole-dipole interaction between the molecules which is much stronger force than dispersion. Thus it doesn't become a gas as easily.

∙ 7y agoMethyl iodide is a polar molecule so it has a stronger intermolecular attraction than methane, which is nonpolar.

Is PbCl2 soluble in organic solvents?
No, a negligible amount may dissolve in methyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol.
What kind of liquid is in a hand boiler?
Ethyl alcohol
What is mixed indicator and how it is prepare?
Dissolve 20mg methyl red and 100mg bromocresol green in 100ml 95% ethyl alcohol.
What is the difference between rubbing alcohol and isopropyl alcohol?
Rubbing alcohol, is a liquid prepared and used primarily for application. It is prepared from a special denatured alcohol solution and contains 97.5-100% by volume of pure, concentrated ethonal(ethyl alcohol) or isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol). Individual manufacturers can use their own "formulation standards" in which the ethanol content usually ranges from 70-99% In the UK the equivalent skin preparation is surgical spirit which is always based on an ethyl alcohol-methyl alcohol mixture.
What is the state of rubbing alcohol at room temperature?
By "alcohol," I am assuming that you are asking about ethyl alcohol; the alcohol present in intoxicating liquors and alcoholic beverages.Ethyl alcohol is a clear, colorless, liquid at room temperature. Its boiling point is 173.1 °F (78.4 °C) and its melting point is -173 °F (-114 °C).The two next most common alcohols are isopropyl alcohol and methyl alcohol. Both of these alcohols are more toxic than ethyl alcohol, although methyl alcohol is extremely toxic. In actuality, methyl alcohol itself is not especially toxic, however it is rapidly converted into formaldehyde then into formic acid by the liver, and these compounds are what cause permanent blindness or death, depending on the dose.The toxicity of methanol and of other alcohols is why it is so important to never consume any "alcohol" except that which is commercially produced or beers and wines made by trustworthy brewers and winemakers. Essentially all commercial liquors, beers, and wines contain a very small and harmless amount of methyl alcohol. It is also highly unlikely that illegal liquor will naturally contain harmful amounts of methyl alcohol. The danger with consuming "moonshine" or "white lightning" and cheap wines of dubious origin is that the consumer has no idea if the producers have added methanol or some other alcohol or ethylene glycol (in radiator fluid) to the illegal liquors or wines, respectively, unless it is tested first. There aren't a whole lot of back-woods illegal liquor makers who hold a Ph.D. in chemistry or biology; some of them think alcohol always means ethyl alcohol.
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.
Which shows maximum hydrogen bonding with wate.is it methyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol?
Methyl alcohol
Which has a higher melting point Sodium Chloride or Ethyl Alcohol?
Sodium Chloride has a higher melting point because at room temperature it is a solid but Ethyl alcohol has already melted, as it is liquid.
What are kinds of alcohols?
There are three types of alcohols, ethyl alcohol, propyl alcohol and methyl alcohol. Ethyl alcohol is the type that is consumed.
What is the solute in 60.0 mL of ethyl alcohol and 30.0 mL of methyl alcohol?
In this case the solute is methyl alcohol and solvent is ethyl alcohol. When two liquids mix, they are not usually referred to as "soluble", but rather are referred to as "miscible".
What is the difference between ethyl and methyl alcohol?
Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, is madeof molecules containing one methyl group, with a chemical structure of CH3-OH. Methanol is highly toxic if inhaled, drunk, or absorbed through the skin and can cause blindness. Ethyl alcohol is the same as ethanol or grain alcohol. I has two methyl groups and looks like CH3-CH3-OH. This is the type of alcohol found in the alcoholic beverages people consume. Both compounds are organic and are good solvents and fixatives.
How methyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol?
First we have to know the difference between methyl and ethyl and alcohol groups: A methyl group chemical formula is CH3- , of an ethyl group it is C2H5- , and alcohol group means the group contains -OH So methyl alcohol is methanol, CH3OH, and ethyl alcohol is ethanol, CH3CH2OH.
Are Methyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol miscible?
Yes, they're miscible in every ratio
What is the type of solution of denatured and alcohol?
There are different formulations for denaturing ethyl alcohol. One such formulation adds isopropyl alcohol, methyl ethyl ketone and denatonium benzoate to the ethyl alcohol to make it unpalatable.
What degree Fahrenheit does alcohol boil at?
Ethyl alcohol boils at 172.4, methyl alcohol boils at 151.
How can a mixture of methyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol be separated?
By distillation, though 100% pure is not attainable.
If you boil ethyl alcohol does the chemical structure change?
No. The chemical structure of ethyl alcohol gas is the same as ethyl alcohol liquid.
