  1. Question 1

    Q1. The boiling point of an alcohol is higher than its isomeric ether because?

    • A) Alcohols are more polar than ethers
    • B) Alcohols have a higher molecular weight than ethers
    • C) Alcohols form hydrogen bonds
    • D) Ethers are less polar than alcohols

    Answer: Alcohols form hydrogen bonds

    Explanation: Alcohols have higher boiling points due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding, which is not present in ethers.
