Why is the boiling point of methylamine higher than the boiling point of ethane?

Methylamine is a polar molecule, so its intermolecular forces include dipole-dipole interactions. On the other hand, ethane is nonpolar, so the only intermolecular forces are london dispersion forces (also known as induced dipole-induced dipole interactions or van der Waals forces). Since dipole-dipole interactions are stronger than dispersion forces, the intermolecular bonding in methylamine is stronger and methylamine has a higher boiling point.

Probably Because the Molecule (Methylamine) is Polar.

methylamine = -6C
ethane = -88.6C
