engineering chemistry MCQ #180

  1. Question 1

    Q1. The boiling point of ethers is lower than their isomeric alcohols due to?

    • A) Hydrogen bonding
    • B) Dipole-dipole interactions
    • C) London dispersion forces
    • D) Absence of hydrogen bonding

    Answer: Absence of hydrogen bonding

    Explanation: Ethers lack hydrogen bonding, resulting in lower boiling points compared to isomeric alcohols which exhibit hydrogen bonding.
