Given information

Given:-CH3OCH3 or CH3CH2OH

The compounds with the highest boiling point out of given pairs of compounds are to be identified.

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

The boiling point of compounds relies upon the molecular weight, intermolecular forces present in the compounds. The intermolecular forces are the forces that exist in between the two or more atoms in a compound. Due to strong intermolecular forces, the molecule will require more energy to break the bonds. The compounds that have ionic bonding and hydrogen bonding will possess a high boiling point.
