Question

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A 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:

(A) A is false but R is true
(B) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(C) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
(D) A is true but R is false

Correct answer: B. Due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding in Butane-2-ol, association of molecule increases which increase attraction between molecules and boiling point increase. | JEE(Main) 2023 | DATE : 08-04-2023 (SHIFT-1) | PAPER-1 | CHEMISTRY PAGE # 4
