Chemical Compounds with stronger intermolecular forces have higher boiling points.

The order of strengths of intermolecular forces is:

 London dispersion < dipole-dipole < H-bonding

${\text{Methane (CH}}_{\mathrm{4)}}$ — London dispersion forces

${\text{Dimethyl ether (CH}}_3{\text{OCH}}_{\mathrm{3)}}$ — dipole-dipole attractions

${\text{Methanol (CH}}_3\text{OH)}$ — hydrogen bonding

Therefore, ${\text{Methanol -}}^{}$${\text{CH}}_3\text{OH}$$\text{with H-Bonding have highest Boiling Point among the given chemical compounds.}$

Many carbohydrates contain one or more modified monosaccharide units that have had one or more groups replaced or removed.

Chitin is one of many naturally occurring polymers. It is one of the most abundant natural materials in the world. Over time it is bio-degradable in the natural environment. Its breakdown may be catalyzed by enzymes called chitinases, secreted by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi, and produced by some plants.

Chitin is composed of repeating units of N-acetylglucosamine, a nitrogen-containing form of glucose.
