Methanol (ch3oh) has a boiling point of -97°c. methane (ch4) has a boiling point of -162°c. which type of bonding explains why methanol has a much higher boiling point than methane?

Answer is: hydrogen bonding.

Methanol has stronger intermolecular bonds than methane.

Intermolecular forces are the forces between molecules or particles.

There are several types of intermolecular forces: hydrogen bonding, ion-induced dipole forces, ion-dipole forces andvan der Waals forces.

Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen atom (H), covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as flourine (F), oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) atoms.

Direction of features is often determined by a magnetic compass which measures angles relative to Magnetic North. Using the declination diagram found on a map, individuals can convert their field measures of magnetic direction into directions that are relative to either Grid or True North.
