Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): The boiling points of alcohols and phenols increase with increase in the number of C-atoms.
Statement (II): The boiling points of alcohols and phenols are higher in comparison to other class of compounds such as ethers, haloalkanes.
choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
Statement I is correct as boiling point of alcohol phenols increase with increase in the
number of 
-atoms due to increase in van der Waals forces. Statement II is correct, since alcohols phenols have intermolecular H -bonding therefore their boiling points are higher in comparison to other class of compounds such as ethers, haloalkanes.
