The boiling point of ethylamine is higher than that of propane but lower than that of 1-propanol.This means that
A)a molecule of ethylamine cannot form a hydrogen bond with another molecule of itself.
B)hydrogen bonds between two amino groups are weaker than those between two alcohol groups.
C)the intermolecular forces between two amine molecules are only dipole-dipole.
D)the intermolecular forces between two amine molecules are ionic in nature.
E)the intermolecular forces between two amine molecules are only London dispersion forces.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ethylamine can form hydrogen bonds due to its NH group, but these bonds are weaker than the OH hydrogen bonds in alcohols like 1-propanol, explaining the intermediate boiling point of ethylamine.

The Boiling Point of Ethylamine Is Higher Than That of Propane
