Ethers have lower boiling points than their corresponding isomeric alcohols because of
A
Hydrogen bonding in alcohols that is absent in ether4s due to lower polarity.
B
Hydrogen bonding in ethers due to high polarity
C
Insolubility of ether in water due to less polarity
D
Inertness of ethers as compared to alcohols
Answer
Hydrogen bonding in alcohols that is absent in ether4s due to lower polarity.
Explanation
Solution
Ethers have lower boiling points than the corresponding isomeric alcohols because of absence of hydrogen bonding in ethers.
