Question

Why are alcohols volatile in nature?

Answer 1

Alcohols are compounds which are less polar and have intermolecular force of attractions less than polar compounds like water.

Even though alcohols involve hydrogen bonding but less when compared to water (2-OH groups). Due to which they are less sticky and easily go to the gaseous state (less energy required to break these attractions). Hence they are more volatile.

But alcohols are less volatile than hydrocarbons.
