Ethanol and dimethyl ether form a pair of functional isomers.

The boiling point of ethanol is higher than that of dimethyl

ether, due to the presence of

(a) H-bonding in ethanol

(b) H-bonding in dimethyl ether

(c) CH3 group in ethanol

(d) CH3 group in dimethyl ether


Answer:

(a) Due to H-bonding, the boiling point of ethanol is much higher than that of the isomeric diethyl ether
