Question

Amines are having higher boiling point than hydrocarbons because:

• A. It forms H-bond
• B. It forms intermolecular H-bonds
• C. It forms N-H bond
• D. Of the large hydrocarbon part

Answer 1

The correct option is B

It forms intermolecular H-bonds

Amines are having higher boiling points than hydrocarbons , as C-N bond in amines is more polar than a C-C bond in hydrocarbons. Due to the polar nature of amines it forms intermolecular H-bonds and exists as associated molecules.
