cooking oil, a non-polar liquid, has a boiling point in excess of 200 degrees Celsius. Water boils at 100 degrees. how can you explain these facts, given the strength of water's hydrogen bonding?

3 answers

Stronger intramolecular bonding means higher temp to release the bonds.
Please explain
higher temp provides more kinetic energy to molecules which allows them to vibrate apart in the liquid, and make vapor. We call that boiling.
