Question

Nitro compounds have higher boiling points than the hydrocarbons having almost same molecular mass

Answer 1

Answer:

Due to polarity, there is strong electrostatic attraction between the nitrogen and oxygen atoms of a nitro group hence the boiling points of nitro compounds are unusually high in comparison with other compounds of same molecular mass.

Answer 2

Answer

The user might be asking "

.Comment.'' in the question,answer to which is as under--

Explanation:

Nitro compounds have higher boiling points than the hydrocarbons having almost same molecular mass,this is because of the polarity, there is strong electrostatic attraction between the nitrogen and oxygen atoms of a . Hence ,the boiling points of nitro compounds are unusually high in comparison with other compounds of same molecular mass.

Nitro compounds have high dipole moments and, hence ,hảve strong dipole - dipole interactions. Hence their boiling points are higher than those of hydrocạrbons 'having almost the same molecular mass.
