Water and alcohols both are polar in nature. When an alcoholis dissolved in water, it forms hydrogen bonds with water by breakingthe H-bonding already existing between the water molecules. Hydrocarbons are non-polar in nature and do not form H-bonds with water molecules. Therefore alcohols are readily soluble in waterwhereas hydrocarbons are not.

Here is your answer

Ethers have relatively low boiling points due to their inability to form hydrogen bonds with each other. Due to the electronegativity difference between oxygen and carbon atoms of an ether, the mi=olecules are slightly polar in nature
