Given below are two statements.
Statement I The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are higher than those of hydrocarbons and ethers of comparable molecular masses.
Statement II Aldehydes and ketones undergo intermolecular association due to dipole-dipole interactions.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are higher than hydrocarbons and ethers of comparable molecular masses. It is due to weak molecular association in aldehydes and ketones arising out of the dipole-dipole interactions. Hence, Statements I and II both are true.
