Question

Phenol has higher boiling point then toluene.Why

Answer 1

Answer:

Phenols have higher boiling point than toluene due to the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding inphenols. The formation of hydrogen bonds increases the intermolecular force of attraction between the phenolmolecules and thereby increases itboiling point.

Answer 2

Answer

Phenols have higher boiling point than toluene due to the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding in phenols. The formation of hydrogen bonds increases the intermolecular force of attraction between the phenol molecules and thereby increases it boiling point.
