Question

Which property is a direct consequence of hydrogen bonding?
Options
A Low boiling point of water
B Complete miscibility with nonpolar solvents
C High boiling point of ethanol
Correct Answer
D Linear structure of all molecules
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Hydrogen bonding is a relatively strong intermolecular force. Extra energy is required to overcome these forces during vaporization, leading to higher boiling points for compounds that exhibit hydrogen bonding, such as ethanol and water.

Hint

Hydrogen bonds are strong intermolecular forces. How would that affect the boiling point?
