Recall that the O H bond is polar. This means that alcohols are much more solublein polar solvents such as water than are hydrocarbons. The OH functional group can also participate in hydrogen bonding. As a result, the boiling points of alcohols are much higher than those of their parent alkanes.

Hey !!

This is due to the ability of alcohols to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.

Good luck !!
