प्रश्न
Give reasons for the following: Butan-1-ol has a higher boiling point than diethyl ether.
Advertisements
उत्तर
Butan-1-ol has a higher boiling point because it contains a hydroxyl group which is capable of hydrogen bonding. Molecules of diethyl ether are incapable of forming hydrogen bonds with each other.
