Q:
      
      
         
            
Which of the following chemical compounds has the highest boiling point?
         
       
      
      
      
          
      
      
          Answer & Explanation
         Answer: B) Methanol (CH3OH)         
         
Explanation: Chemical Compounds with stronger intermolecular forces have higher boiling points.
 
The order of strengths of intermolecular forces is: 
 London dispersion < dipole-dipole < H-bonding
 
Methane (CH4) — London dispersion forces
Dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3) — dipole-dipole attractions
Methanol (CH3OH) — hydrogen bonding
Therefore, Methanol - CH3OH with H-Bonding have highest Boiling Point among the given chemical compounds.
