engineering chemistry MCQ #96

  1. Question 1

    Q1. The boiling points of ethers are lower than those of corresponding alcohols due to

    • A) absence of hydrogen bonding
    • B) presence of dipole-dipole interactions
    • C) London dispersion forces
    • D) ionic interactions

    Answer: absence of hydrogen bonding

    Explanation: Ethers lack hydrogen bonding, resulting in lower boiling points.
