JEE Main 2025 · 23 January · Evening Shift · Chemistry · Alcohols Phenols and Ethers
Given below are two statements : Statement (I) : The boiling points...
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.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are false
- BBoth Statement I and Statement II are true
- CStatement I is false but Statement II is true
- DStatement I is true but Statement II is false
Correct answer
B. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Step-by-step solution
Statement I is correct as boiling point of alcohol phenols increase with increase in the number of C -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.
