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. 
Hope this helps :)
