The boiling point of bromomethane is higher than that of methane because bromomethane has stronger intermolecular forces due to the presence of a polar bromine atom, which leads to increased attractions between molecules. This results in increased energy required to overcome these forces and boil the compound.

Does ammonia have a higher boiling point than methane?

Yes, Boiling point of ammonia, NH3: - 33,34 0C Boiling poit of methane, CH4: - 161,6 0C


Why does methane have a higher boiling point than Fluromethane?

Metahne does not have a higher boiling point than methane. Fluoromethane, CH3F, has a boiling point of 195K, -78.2C, methane, CH4, has a boiling point of 109K approx -164 C. I make that fluoromethane has a higher temeprature boiling point than methane. This is what you would expect, London dispersion forces will be greater in CH3F as it has more electrons than CH4. CH3F is polar and there will be dipole dipole interactions which will not be present in CH4.


Why do ammonia has higher boiling point than methane in terms of intermolecular forces?

it doesn't


Why c2h5oh has higher boiling point?

Ethanol (C2H5OH) has a higher boiling point than methane (CH4) because it has stronger intermolecular forces, specifically hydrogen bonding, which requires more energy to overcome and boil. This results in a higher boiling point for ethanol compared to methane.


Why do ammonia has higher melting and boiling point than methane?

Ammonia (NH3) has hydrogen bonding intermolecular forces, whereas methane (CH4) does not. In addition, ammonia is polar, and so also has dipole-dipole forces and methane does not. Thus, it takes more energy (higher temperature) to boil and melt ammonia than it does methane.


Which type of bonding explains why methanol has a much higher boiling point that methane?

Methanol has a much higher boiling point than methane due to hydrogen bonding. In methanol, the presence of an -OH (hydroxyl) group allows for strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds between methanol molecules, whereas methane only exhibits weaker van der Waals forces. These hydrogen bonds require more energy to break, resulting in a higher boiling point for methanol compared to methane.


Is liquid methane colder than liquid nitrogen?

No, at their boiling points liquid nitrogen is colder than liquid methane.


The boiling temperature of water is so much higher than that of methane because water molecules are what?

Water is polar and is strongly hydrogen bonded.


Why methane mercaptan has a lower boiling point than methanol even though methyl mercaptan has a higher molecular weight?

For the same reason that water isn't a gas. Oxygen is highly electronegative and the hydrogen bonding present in water and methanol raises the intermolecular attractive forces and results in a higher boiling point.


Higher boiling point graphite or ch4?

Graphite has a higher boiling point than CH4. Graphite is a form of carbon arranged in layers, held together by strong covalent bonds, resulting in a higher boiling point. CH4 (methane) is a simple gas composed of one carbon and four hydrogen atoms, with weaker intermolecular forces leading to a lower boiling point.


Can methane be a gas at -161.5c as it's boiling point?

Indeed it can. At the boiling point liquid methane is in equilbrium with gaseous methane, so both exist simultaneously.


What happens if boiling point is higher than melting point?

The boiling point is always higher than the melting point.
