    Boiling point of cycohexanol
    Why the boiling point of cycohexanol is higher than the boiling point of toulene?

    Right these questions are usually about the interaction between molecules.

    What interactions can you get?

    Van Der Waals (instantaneaos dipole to induced dipole and pi - pi stacking)
    Ionic
    Hydrogen Bonds
    Covalent

    They increase in strength down the table.

    Now which interactions can toulene make? It consists only of carbons...

    Which interactions can cycohexanol make that toulene can't? What's sticking off the ring that's different to toulene?
