  • More
  • B
    Same
  • C
    Either of these
  • D
    Less

Answer

Correct option: A.
More
a
In alcohol, hydrogen bonding is present between oxygen and a hydrogen atom. Sulfur is less electronegative than oxygen and hence, forms a weaker hydrogen bond than in alcohol.

Stronger the hydrogen bonding, higher is the boiling point. Hence, the boiling point of alcohol is more than the corresponding thiol.
