Question

ethers have lower boiling points than alcohols ,why

Answer 1

Hey Mate

Answer:}

On compairing the boiling point of ethers and the alcohols we found that ethers have lower boiling point than alcohols.The reason of lower boiling point of ethers is that they cannot form hydrogen bonds due to the absence of -OH groups.While alcohols on the other hand form hydrogen bonds since they have -OH group

hope it helps!!!!!

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Boiling point of a substance depends on inter molecular forces. Alcohols have strong intermolecular Hydrogen bonds whereas ethers have weak dipole-dipole interactions , dispersion forces or Vander Wall forces depending upon the number of carbon atoms involved in alkyl group of ether. So due to strong intermolecular H-bonds in alcohols, they have higher boiling points than ethers.
