On the basis of bonding, which of the following compounds has the highest boiling point? A. water. . B. glucose. . C. sodium chloride. . D. alcohol

Verified Answer :

alcohol = 78c

sodium chloride = 1413c

water = 100c

Glucose does not have a boiling point firstly it decomposes into carbon and H2O then boils

hope it helps.



Answer:

C. sodium chloride

Explanation:

Boiling point is temperature at which vapor pressure of the liquid becomes equal to external pressure (atmospheric) surrounding liquid.


On basis of bonding, the compound which has the highest boiling point is sodium chloride as it posses ionic bonding which is comprised of strong electrostatic bonds.

Water and alcohol are liquid and also, glucose has covalent bonding.

The melting points are shown below as:


Alcohol - 78.37 °C.


Glucose - 146 °C.


Water - 100°C.


Sodium chloride - 1413 °C.


Answer - C. sodium chloride
