Answer 2

HI mate GM here is your answer...,

Esters, like aldehydes and ketones, are polar molecules and so have dipole-dipole interactions as well as van der Waals dispersion forces. However, they do not form ester-ester hydrogen bonds, so their boiling points are significantly lower than those of an acid with the same number of carbon atoms.

I hope it will help you and mark me as a brain list answer plz.
