Why methanol a polar molecule which boils faster than water even though both of them are polar molecule

Answer 1

Methanol is able to boil faster than water despite both being polar molecules because of differences in their intermolecular forces.

In the case of methanol, the intermolecular forces are weaker compared to water. Methanol has weaker hydrogen bonding between its molecules, which allows them to break apart more easily and hence boil at a lower temperature compared to water.

Water, on the other hand, has stronger hydrogen bonding between its molecules which requires more energy to break and therefore boils at a higher temperature compared to methanol. This is why methanol, being a less polar molecule than water, can boil faster.
