Intermolecular forces are at work and determine boiling points.

In alkanes there are only carbon and hydrogen. The partial charge of the carbon of one molecule is only weakly attracted to the hydrogen partial charge of a neighbouring molecule. These weak intermolecular forces result in a low boiling point as they are easily broken.

Alcohol terminates on a OH group. The intermolecular forces between the partial charge of Oxygen and a hydrogen of a neighbouring molecule is significantly stronger, resulting in a significantly higher boiling point.

When you break an iron magnet into two pieces, you get ____.
Rudiy27

Answer:

two north poles and two south poles

Explanation:

A single magnet has a north pole and a south pole. If it is broken into two pieces, then each of the two pieces will have a north pole and a south pole.

No matter how many times or into how many pieces a magnet is broken, the resulting pieces will have two poles each.
