Silicon carbide is used in Cutting very hard substances.

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.}$

Astigmatism is a common vision condition that causes blurred vision. It occurs when the cornea is irregularly shaped or sometimes because of the curvature of the lens inside the eye.
