A molecule of water H2O and a molecule of methane CH4 have close to the same mass Which statement explains why water has much higher boiling point than methane?
A. There is hoydrogen bonding between water molecules?
B. There is ionic bonding between water molecules
C. There is hydrogen bonding between methane molecules
D. There is ionic bonding between methane molecules​

Respuesta :

Answer:

A. There is hydrogen bonding between water molecules

Explanation:

Boiling point is a physical property of matter. It is typically conditioned by the intermolecular forces present between the molecules of a compound.

  • The nature of the intermolecular forces between the molecules of water is very different from those of methane.
  • Water molecules have hydrogen bonds within their molecules.
  • These intermolecular bonds are very strong compared to the london dispersion forces in methane.
  • Hydrogen bond forms when the hydrogen of one molecule binds with the oxygen of another molecule.

Answer:

A)

Explanation:

There is hydrogen bonding between water molecules
