Important Questions on Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

MEDIUM
Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their boiling points.
CH3CHO,CH3CH2OH,CH3OCH3,CH3CH2CH3
MEDIUM

How would you account for:

Boiling points of aldehydes are lower than alcohols.

EASY

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are higher than hydrocarbons of comparable molecular masses because of weak molecular association in aldehydes and ketones due to dipole - dipole interactions.
Statement II: The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are lower than the alcohols of similar molecular masses due to the absence of H-bonding.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

MEDIUM
