engineering chemistry MCQ #416

  1. Question 1

    Q1. The boiling point of aldehydes and ketones is higher than alkanes due to

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

    Answer: Dipole-dipole interactions

    Explanation: Aldehydes and ketones exhibit dipole-dipole interactions due to their polar carbonyl group, increasing their boiling points.
