If water and ethanol both have all 3 intermolecular bonds, why does ethanol evaporate so much quicker?

Sagot :

Many alcohols like ethanol have low boiling points, lower than water. Because of this, the ethanol molecules can overcome their inter molecular bonds that hold them in that liquid state.
