explain why methanethiol, CH3SH, has a lower boiling point (6°C) than methanol, CH3OH (65°C), even though methanethiol has a higher molecular weight
Explain why dimethyl ether and ethanol are both water soluble, but the boiling
point of ethanol (78°C) is much higher than the boiling point of dimethyl ether
(-24°C).
The C-O bond is much shorter in phenol than in ethanol. Give reason.
