Answer:
Alkanes are non-polar in nature and
the attractive forces are weak van der Waals' forces. In alcohols,
intermolecular hydrogen bonding is present in the molecules. In the carbonyl compounds,
only dipolar forces exist in the molecules It is therefore, quite obvious that
the attractive forces in carbonyl compounds are more than in alkanes and less
in comparison to alcohols. Thus justifies the trend in boiling point values in
the members of these families. For more details, consult section 13.6.
