MCQ
An ether is more volatile than an alcohol having the same molecular formula. This is due to
  • A
    Dipolar character of ethers
  • B
    Alcohols having resonance structures
  • C
    Inter-molecular hydrogen bonding in ethers
  • Inter-molecular hydrogen bonding in alcohols

Answer

Correct option: D.
Inter-molecular hydrogen bonding in alcohols
d
(d) Due to inter-molecular hydrogen bonding in alcohols boiling point of alcohols is much higher than ether.
