Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Ethanol and dimethyl ether has same molecular formula, C2H6O. The reason behind the fact that dimethyl ether has a boiling point that is lower than the boiling point of ethanol is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The various kinds of interactions that bind a molecule together are known as intermolecular forces. These forces can be dispersion, dipole-dipole, ion-dipole, and hydrogen bonding.

The boiling point of a substance depends upon the intermolecular forces present in a molecule.

When hydrogen is covalently bonded to a very small, highly electronegative atom (usually fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen), the result is a molecule with a large dipole moment. This leads to a particularly strong type of dipole–dipole attraction traditionally called hydrogen bonding
