Q. On the basis of intermolecular forces predict the correct order of decreasing boiling points of the compounds:

Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

Alcohol involves $H$-bonding; also molecular weight of $CH _{4}>$ molecular weight of $H _{2}$. The greater is molecular weight of covalent compound, the higher is its bp.
