  1. Question 1

    Q1. The boiling point of alcohols is higher than that of hydrocarbons of comparable molecular weight due to

    • A) Hydrogen bonding
    • B) Dipole-dipole interactions
    • C) London dispersion forces
    • D) Ionic interactions

    Answer: Hydrogen bonding

    Explanation: Alcohols exhibit hydrogen bonding, which increases their boiling points compared to hydrocarbons.
