MCQ
What is the dominant intermolecular force or bond that must be overcome in converting liquid $CH_3OH$ to a gas?
  • A
    Dipole-dipole interaction
  • B
    Covalent bonds
  • C
    London dispersion force
  • Hydrogen bonding

Answer

Correct option: D.
Hydrogen bonding
d
When $H$ atom is directly linked with $N, O,$ or $\mathrm{F}$, inter or intramolecular $H-$ bonding is formed.

In between $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}$ molecules, intermolecular $H-$bonding exists.

Hence, it is the intermolecular $\mathrm{H}$ - bonding that must be overcome in converting liquid $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}$ to gas.
