Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion 
and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: Butan -1- ol has higher boiling point than ethoxyethane.
Reason R: Extensive hydrogen bonding leads to stronger association of molecules.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
is false
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
Butan-1-ol 
can undergo hydrogen bonding. Ethoxyethane 
) has no hydrogen (attached with 
, 
which can undergo hydrogen bonding. More is the extent of intermolecular H-bonding, more will be association of molecules. Thus leading to higher boiling point.
