AIIMS 2001 Chemistry Boiling Points Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A) : CH₃OCH₃ and C₂H₅OH has comparable molecular weight but boiling point of C₂H₅OH is more than dimethyl ether.
Reason (R) : C₂H₅OH forms intermolecular H⁻bonding while CH₃OCH₃ forms intramolecular H⁻bonding.
If both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
If both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
If A is true but R is false.
If A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
C₂H₅OH forms intermolecular hydrogen bonds, which increases its boiling point. CH₃OCH₃ does not form intramolecular hydrogen bonds; instead, it lacks hydrogen bonding.
