Ethers are the organic compound having formula ROR,where R may be same or different.Alcohols are the organic compound with formula ROH.
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.

Because hydrogen bonds can't form between the molecules in the ether,the boiling point of this compound is more than 80�C lower than the corresponding alcohol. ... As a result,ethers are less likely to be soluble in water than the alcohol with the same molecular weight.
