Explanation:

Methane is a gas at room temperature but methanol is a liquid because in methane there's London dispersion intermolecular force but in methanol there's H-bond and London dispersion force. H-bond is more stronger than London dispersion force. So, it increases the boiling point of methanol that's why methane is gas at room temperature due to weak attraction of London dispersion force and methanol is liquid.
