Question

In general ethers have a much lower boiling point than their isomeric alcohols. why?

Answer 1

Ethers have a much lower boiling point than their isomeric alcohols because ether have not hydrogen bond that why ethers have lower boiling point .

Ethers will not have a hydrogen atom attached to the oxygen atom as alcohols do. Because ether molecules can not form intermolecular hydrogen bonds, their boiling points are much shorter than those of alcohol with such a comparable mass.

Owing to the combination of intermolecular H-bonding in alcohols though not in ethers, alcohols possess higher boiling temperatures than isomeric ethers.

Therefore, ethers have a much lower boiling point than their isomeric alcohols because ether have not hydrogen bond that why ethers have lower boiling point .
