Question

Explain how water’s polarity is related to its boiling point.

Answer 1

The greater the forces of attraction the higher the boiling point or the greater the polarity the higher the boiling point. ... The other molecules are slightly polar and show the increase in boiling point with molecular weight which is normal. Instead, water boils at +100 C, which is very abnormal.
