Question

On the basis of bonding, which of the following compounds has the highest boiling point? A. water. . B. glucose. . C. sodium chloride. . D. alcohol

Answer 1

Answer:

C. sodium chloride

Explanation:

Boiling point is temperature at which vapor pressure of the liquid becomes equal to external pressure (atmospheric) surrounding liquid.

On basis of bonding, the compound which has the highest boiling point is sodium chloride as it posses ionic bonding which is comprised of strong electrostatic bonds.

Water and alcohol are liquid and also, glucose has covalent bonding.

The melting points are shown below as:

Alcohol - 78.37 °C.

Glucose - 146 °C.

Water - 100°C.

Sodium chloride - 1413 °C.

Answer - C. sodium chloride

Answer 2

Alcohol = 78c
sodium chloride = 1413c
water = 100c
Glucose does not have a boiling point firstly it decomposes into carbon and H2O then boils

hope it helps.
