Why methanol boil at high temperature than dimethyl ether?

bcoz of the intermolecular hydrogen bonding in methyl alcohol the vapour pressure of the molecule equalises the atmospheric pressure at higher temperatures. there is no hydrogen bonding in dimethyl ether and hence the molecule escapes at relatively lower temperatures.


Is intermolecular hydrogen bonding strongest in methyl amine or phenol or methanol or formaldehyde?

Intermolecular hydrogen bonding is strongest in phenol due to its ability to form stable hydrogen bonds through its hydroxyl (-OH) group, which is part of a resonance-stabilized aromatic system. While methyl amine and methanol can also form hydrogen bonds, phenol's structure allows for more effective hydrogen bonding interactions. Formaldehyde, lacking an -OH group, cannot participate in hydrogen bonding to the same extent as the others. Therefore, among the given compounds, phenol exhibits the strongest intermolecular hydrogen bonding.


Is methyl alcohol in the periodic table?

Alcohol is a compound, not an element. Only elements are found on the periodic table.


Is methyl octane alcohol alkane or alkenes?

Alcohol is an Oxygen atom double-bonded to a carbonyl group. As such, there is no such thing as 'Methyl Octane Alcohol'. However, there is Methyl Alcohol and Octyl Alcohol. Please edit your question. Also: If you are asking if Methyl Alcohol is miscible (dissoluble) in octane, it is. Alkanes are hydrocarbons only, so both octane and the methyl group in methanol (methyl alcohol) are alkanes.


Why is CH3OH methyl alcohol?

CH3OH is called methyl alcohol because it is a type of alcohol compound where the hydroxyl group (-OH) is attached to a carbon atom (methyl group -CH3) in the molecule. This naming convention is based on the IUPAC system for naming organic compounds.

Which forces internal or intermolecular must be broken for methyl alcohol to evaporate?

Intermolecular forces, specifically hydrogen bonding between methyl alcohol molecules, must be overcome for methyl alcohol to evaporate. The hydrogen bonds between molecules need to be disrupted in order for the liquid to transition into a gas during evaporation.


What type of intermolecular forces exist in alcohol?

Alcohol exhibits hydrogen bonding, which is a type of intermolecular force that occurs between the hydrogen of one molecule and the oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine of another molecule. Additionally, alcohol molecules also have weaker dispersion forces and possibly dipole-dipole interactions.


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.


How many bonding pairs of electrons in methyl fluoride?

Methyl fluoride (CH3F) has three bonding pairs of electrons between carbon and hydrogen atoms in the methyl group, and one bonding pair of electrons between carbon and fluorine atoms. Therefore, there are a total of four bonding pairs of electrons in methyl fluoride.

What elements are in methyl alcohol?

Methyl alcohol, or methanol, has the formula CH4O, or CH3OH. It contains the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The functional group that makes it an alcohol is the -OH group.

Why is benzophenone soluble in methyl alcohol while biphenyl is not?

Yes it is definitely soluble in methyl alcohol through experimental observation but to the extent of polarity is what i am trying to figure out. There should be a difference in solubility of benzophenone in methyl alcohol and in hexane. It is def. partially soluble in hexane and im guessing it is suppose to be completely soluble in methyl alcohol. I must have just messed up in the lab

Is malonic acid soluble in methyl alcohol?

Yes, malonic acid is soluble in methanol (methyl alcohol) at room temperature because both are polar compounds and can form hydrogen bonds with each other, allowing for solubility.


How many atoms of oxygen does wood alcohol?

One oxygen atom is in each alcohol molecule. This is true of methyl (wood) alcohol, ethyl, propyl or isopropyl alcohol and all of the alcohols based on a simple hydrocarbon chain (acyclic alcohols).


Why ethyl alcohol is a liquid while methyl chloride is a gas?

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.
