B)higher
C)very similar

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amines have higher boiling points than similar hydrocarbons due to the presence of hydrogen bonding between the amine molecules. The nitrogen in the amine group can form hydrogen bonds with other amine molecules, which requires more energy to break and results in a higher boiling point.
