Question

Why does water have a much higher boiling point than methane even though water (H20) and methane (CH4) molecules are approximately the same size?
A. Only metallic bonds exist between methane molecules.
B. Only Van der Waals forces exist between water molecules.
C. Only metallic bonds exist between water molecules.
D. Only Van der Waals forces exist between methane molecules.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Water has a higher boiling point because the hydrogen bonds that form water molecules are stronger than the Van der Waals interactions among methane molecules, therefor more energy must be provided in order to break the hydrogen bonds and allow the water molecules to escape the liquid state.
