Between nitromethane (CH3-NO2) and methyl nitrite (CH3-0-NO), which has the higher boiling point? Explain the reason in less than 90 words.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]CH_3NO_2[/tex] has higher boiling point

Explanation:

[tex]CH_3NO_2[/tex] has higher boiling point because in [tex]CH_3NO_2[/tex] , [tex]NO_2[/tex]  has a very strong dipole and we know that whenever there is dipole-dipole interaction then boiling point increases. On the other hand in [tex]CH_3-O-NO[/tex] the NO group has not so strong dipole which weakens its boiling point

So the boiling point of [tex]CH_3NO_2[/tex] is higher than the boiling point of  [tex]CH_3-O-NO[/tex]
