Propane boils at -46oC. Propanol boils at 97oC. The difference is attributable to- Select one:
a. The fact that propanol is much heavier
b. The fact that propanol ionizes allowing the formation of charge-dipole bonds in water
c. The fact that propanol is the L-enantiomer of propane.
d. The fact that propanol can maintain intermolecular hydrogen bonds which propane can't.
e. There is really no good explanation for this. It is one of the puzzles of organic chemistry.
