Answer:
The Boiling Point of Alcohols
This is due to the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding between hydroxyl groups of alcohol molecules. ... On the other hand, the boiling point decreases with an increase in branching in aliphatic carbon chains the Van der Waals forces decreases with a decrease in surface area.
