Alcohols and ethers are isomeric with each other. But, the boiling point of ethers is always lower than that of alcohols, due to the following reason:

(A)Hydrogen bond is present in ethers
(B)Hydrogen bond is absent in ethersCorrect
(C)Hydrogen bond is absent in alcohols
(D)Lower mass

Answer: (B)
