Water (H₂O) has a higher boiling point than methane (CH₄) because water has _______ between molecules. A) ionic bonding B) covalent bonding C) dispersion forces D) dipole-dipole forces E) hydrogen bonding forces

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water has hydrogen bonding forces between molecules, which are stronger than the dispersion forces found in methane. This leads to a higher boiling point for water.
