Considerably higher boiling point and lower vapor pressure

Reference no: EM13293537

Water has a considerably higher boiling point and lower vapor pressure than other molecules of similar or larger molar mass. For example, dinitrogen (N2), methane (CH4), etc. all have lower boiling points and higher vapor pressures than water at the same temperature. How might this be explained?
