Answer» Correct Answer - B Both ethanol and ethanol are polar compounds and have comparable molecular masses . The high melting point of ethanol is mainly due to the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding between its molecules which is lacking in ethanol. `C_(2)H_(5)-overset(delta-)ddotunderset(H)underset(|)(O)overset(.).---overset(delta+)(H)-overset(C_(2)H_(5))underset(delta+)underset(..)(O)overset(.)(.)---overset(delta+)(H)---overset(delta-)ddotunderset(C_(2)H_(5))underset(|)(O)overset(.)(.)---` |
