Question
Boiling point of ethanol is higher in comparison to methoxymethane.
✓

Answer

Ethanol undergoes intermolecular hydrogen bonding due to presence of a hydrogen attached to electronegative oxygen atom and hence exists as associated molecules. On the other hand, methoxymethane does not form hydrogen bonds.
