The boiling points of ethers are much lower than that of isomeric alcohols,Do you agree ? Justify

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes. Due to the presence of -OH groups, alcohols undergo intermolecular hydrogen bonding. They have very high boiling points. . Ether does not undergo intermoleculạ hydrogen bonding. Thus they do not show inolecular association and have iower boiling points than that of isomeric alcohols.
