Which of the following compounds is a gas at room temperature? a : ch3ch2oh b : ch3ch2ch2ch2ch2ch2ch3 c : ch3ch2ch3 d : hoch2ch2oh

C.

Explanation:

Molecules with the stronger intermolecular forces are pulled tightly together  to form solid at higher temperatures and that's why the freezing point is higher.

Also, molecules with the stronger intermolecular force have greater interaction between the molecules and thus on heating do not boil easily and have high boiling point also.

Thus, melting point and boiling point increases with increase in number of carbon atoms and also increase in intermolecular forces (like hydrogen bonding, if present).

Thus, the compound which is gas at room temperature is because it has least number of carbon atoms and absence of hydrogen bonding.

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
