    An ether is more volatile than an alcohol having the same molecular formula. This is due to

    A)  dipolar character of ethers

    B)         alcohols having resonance structures

    C)         inter-molecular hydrogen bonding in ethers

    D)         inter-molecular hydrogen bonding in alcohols

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Alcohol has polar \[H\] which makes inter-molecular \[H-\]bonding possible. Ether is non polar hence no \[H-\]bonding. Lack of \[H-\]bonding in ether makes it more volatile than alcohol.
