| What is the reason for the large difference in the boiling points of butanal and butan-1-ol? |
Intermolecular hydrogen bonding in butanal Intermolecular hydrogen bonding in butan-1-ol Higher molecular mass of butan-1-ol None of these |
| Intermolecular hydrogen bonding in butan-1-ol |
| Butanol has a polar O-H bond due to which it shows intermolecular H-bonding which is not possible in the case of butanal due to the absence of a polar bond. Hence, butanal has a higher boiling point than butan-1-ol. |
