Select the correct option based on statements below:
| Assertion (A): | Boiling points of alcohols and ethers are high. |
| Reason (R): | They can form intermolecular hydrogen bonding. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
The boiling point of alcohols is high but the boiling point of ether is low. In alcohol strong, intermolecular hydrogen bonding takes place but in ether weak dipole-dipole interaction takes place.
Hence, both Assertion and Reason are false.
