Question

The boiling point of alcohol are _________ than corresponding thiols.

A
Either of these
B
More
C
Same
D
Less
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Correct option is A. More
In alcohol, hydrogen bonding is present between oxygen and a hydrogen atom. Sulfur is less electronegative than oxygen and hence, forms a weaker hydrogen bond than in alcohol.

Stronger the hydrogen bonding, higher is the boiling point.
Hence, the boiling point of alcohol is more than the corresponding thiol.

Hence, option $$A$$ is correct.
