1.	Which of the following is not a characteristic of alcohol ?A. They are lighter than waterB. Their boiling points rise fairly and uniformly with rising molecular weightC. Lower members are insoluble in water and in organic solvents but the solubility regularly increases with molecular massD. Lower members have a pleasant smell and burning taste, higher members are colourless and tasteless
