Water has stronger hydrogen bonds than Methane. More energy is required to break them, hence the difference in boiling point

∙ 11y agoThe hydrogen bonds between water molecules accounts for water's relatively high boiling point. Energy must go into breaking the hydrogen bonds before the water can boil.

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
What happens if boiling point is higher than melting point?
The boiling point is always higher than the melting point.
What molecule has the highest boiling point methane chloromethane or methanol?
methanol
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.
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

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.
How does pressure affect boiling point of Methane?
At low pressure the boiling point is lowered and inverse.
Why is the boiling point of methane much lower than the boiling point of hydrochloric acid?
Because of the hydrogen bonds in HCl and it's polarity. High polarity = high boiling point. All alkanes (methane) are nonpolar and have low boiling points. Alcohols and compounds with hydrogen bonding have higher boiling points because hydrogen bonds are very strong. Ask a chemistry teacher if you need a better explanation.
Does chlorine or oxygen has higher boiling point?
Chlorine has higher boiling point.
What is the freezing point of methane?
Methane has a boiling point of −161 °C at a pressure of one atmosphere. For the source and more detailed information concerning this subject, click on the related links section indicated below.
At sea level water boils at 100 degrees Celsius while methane boils at negative 161 degrees Celsius Which has a stronger attraction between particles?
Water because water has the highest boiling point, < anything.
What is the boiling point in the Fahrenheit SCALE?
At one atmosphere of pressure (14.7 psia) water boils at 212o F degrees. This can be significantly higher or lower depending on the pressure.
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.
How does pressure affect boiling point?
The boiling point is that temperature when the SATURATEDvapor pressure of a liquidbecomes equal tothe surrounding pressure.Thus the higher the sorrounding pressure, the higher the boiling point.
