Testbank Question 027 Ethers with larger alkyl groups have h

Testbank, Question 027 Ethers with larger alkyl groups have higher boiling points due to London dispersion forces hydrogen bonding O ion-dipole interactions O dipole-dipole interactions ion-ion interactions

Solution

Ethers with larger bulky groups have higher boiling points due to London dispertion forces.

Explanation:

When the larger bulky groups are present, thesurface area of the molecule increases. So there will be more dispertion forces i.e. London dispertion forces.
