Question

boiling point of ethers are lower than isomeric alcohols.explain

Answer 1

alcohol cantains strong hydrogen bonding between O-H bond but ethers does not have a strong bonding between O- C hence it has low boiling point than alcohol

Answer 2

In case of isomeric alcohol the lone pair of electron in the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl group donates itself to the hydrogen in the neighbouring atom of the alcohol.  

Explanation:

• But in case of the ether having same molecular formula the lone pair in oxygen cannot attach itself to any of the hydrogen since all are present in methyl form.  

• Due to the ‘presence of hydrogen bond’, the resulting boiling point increases in the alcohols but is significantly less in case of ethers.
