Explanation:
The weak polarity of ethers do not appreciably affect their boiling pointswhich are comparable to those of the alkenes of comparable molecular mass. Ethers have much lower boiling points as compared to isomeric alcohols. This is because alcoholsmolecules are associated by hydrogen bonds while ether molecules are not.
