Explain why alcohols and ethers of comparable molecular mass have different boiling points?

 

Answers (1)

Due to the presence of intermolecular H-bonds in alcohol, the energy required to break H-bonds is more than the energy required to break simple dipole-dipole bonds present in ethers. Thus, the boiling point of alcohol is higher than the boiling point of ethers.
