butan-1-ol is a bigger molecule, it consists of more elements than ethanol. Also the forces of attraction between the elements are stronger than those in ethanol, therefore this gives butan-1-ol a high boilng point and melting point.

∙ 15y ago1-butanol's structure is more straight that 2-butanol so that the molecules can interact each other better, which means stronger van der Waals force among molecules. To disociate each molecule from the body of liquid, which also known as boiling, more energy will be required.

∙ 13y agoi may be wrong, however, i think that its because of the OH bond
Butane
C-C-C-C
butanol
C-C-C-C-O-H

Which has higher boiling point Urea or Sodium chloride?
urea
Does chlorine or oxygen has higher boiling point?
Chlorine has higher boiling point.
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.
How does salt effect boiling point?
The boiling point is higher.
Which substance has higher boiling point nitrogen fluoride or NH3?
Boiling point of NH3: -33,34 0C Boiling point of NF3: -129,1 0C The boiling point of ammonia is higher.
What happens if boiling point is higher than melting point?
The boiling point is always higher than the melting point.
Does chlorine have a higher boiling point than iodine?
iodine is having higher boiling point
What C7H16 isomer has the highest boiling point?
Heptane - longer the chain, higher the boiling point. Least amount of branches, higher the boiling point.
The boiling point of a liquid solution is?
Higher then the boiling point of the solvent.
A student measures the boiling point of rainwater and sea water.Which has the higher boiling point?
Sea water has higher boiling point,as it contains sodium chloride
How does IMF affect the boiling point or melting point of a substance?
The stronger the IMF, the higher the boiling point and the lower the melting point. The weaker the IMF, the lower the boiling point and the higher 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?
The magnesium chloride solution has a higher boiling point.
