Question

Dentify the molecule with the highest boiling point.

CHCl3
OF2
NH3
C6H6

Answer 1

CHCI3, ion-ion attractions

Answer 2

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A molecule which has hydrogen bonding will have the highest boiling point. So, out of the given options only
`NH_(3)` will have hydrogen bonding.

Whereas in
`CHCl_(3)` there will be dipole-dipole interactions and no hydrogen bonding within the molecule.

In
`OF_(2)` and
`C_(6)H_(6)`, there will be dipole-dipole interaction in both the molecules.

Thus, we can conclude that
`NH_(3)` will have the highest boiling point.
