An ether is more volatile than an alcoho...

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

intermolecular hydrogen bonding in ethers

D

intermolecular hydrogen bonding in alcohols.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The reason for the lesser volatility of alcohols than ethers is the intermolecular association of a large number of molecules due to hydrogen bonding as `-OH` group is highly polarised.

No such hydrogen bonding is present in ethers.
