The boiling point of compound is mostly raised by:

Correct answer: D. Inter molecuar H - bonding

  • A. Dipole induced Dipole inter action
  • B. London dispersion forces
  • C. Intra molecular H - bonding
  • D. Inter molecuar H - bonding

Explanation

The boiling of a compound is raised by Intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Intramolecular hydrogen bonds are those which occur within one single molecule.

About Hydrogen Bonding

Hydrogen bonding is the strong attraction between hydrogen attached to nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine and an electronegative atom in the same or another molecule. It explains unusual boiling points, viscosity, surface tension, water's properties and the difference between intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
