Question

Why is the boiling point of ethane greater than that of neon

Answer 1

The ethane molecule is polar. Hydrogen bonds form between ethane molecules but not present in liquid neon. More electrons are present in ethane than in neon. ... This means more heat is reqiured to overcome the intermolecular or inter-atomic forces in ethane molecules, resulting higher boiling point.
