SUMMARY
Hexanone has a higher boiling point than methanal. Specifically, hexanone's boiling point is approximately 156°C, while methanal, also known as formaldehyde, has a boiling point of around -19°C. This significant difference in boiling points is attributed to the molecular structure and intermolecular forces present in each compound. Understanding these properties is essential for applications in organic chemistry and industrial processes.
