Why is the boiling point for ch3ch2ch2ch2oh higher than the boiling point for ch3ch2ch2ch2sh?

The CH3CH2CH2CH2OH molecules can form strong hydrogen bonds with each other due to the presence of the lone pairs of electrons on O and the H atom which is bonded to the O atom, while CH3CH2CH2CH2SH molecules are unable to due to the absence of H atoms bonded to either F, O or N atoms. As such, more heat energy is required to overcome the stronger hydrogen bonds and thus CH3CH2CH2CH2OH has a higher bioling point.

What happens if boiling point is higher than melting point?
The boiling point is always higher than the melting point.
How does normal boiling points differ from other boiling points of the same liquid?
The normal boiling point is the boiling point at sea level, or more precisely, at 1 atmosphere pressure. At higher elevations, or at lower atmospheric pressures, the boiling point is lower. At higher atmospheric pressures, the boiling point is higher.
Which has a higher boiling point 0.50 NaCl or 0.50 MgCl2?
