At atmospheric pressure, the boiling point of pure methoxyethane is 7°C and for pure propan-1-ol is 97°C. Identify ONE reasonable explanation that involves intermolecular force for this observation.

At atmospheric pressure, the boiling point of pure methoxyethane is $$7^{?}\mathrm{C}$$ and for pure propan-1-ol is $$97^{?}\mathrm{C}$$. Identify ONE reasonable explanation that involves intermolecular force for this observation. methoxyethane 1. The molecular dipole of the propan-1-ol molecule is stronger than of the methoxyethane molecule, so dipole-dipole interactions are stronger in propan-1-ol. 2. Hydrogen bonds occur in pure liquids of both molecules, but are stronger between propan-1-ol molecules. 3. The dispersion forces experienced between propan-1-ol molecules are stronger than those that exist between methoxyethane molecules. 4. The $$\mathrm{O}?\mathrm{H}$$ bond in the propan-1-ol molecule is stronger than the $$\mathrm{C}?\mathrm{H}$$ bonds in the methoxyethane molecule. 5. The dipole-dipole interactions between methoxyethane molecule are weaker than the hydrogen bonds formed by propan-1-ol.
