Medium· Physical Properties of Aldehydes and Ketones· +4 / −1
Given below are two statements:
**Statement I:** The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are higher than hydrocarbons of comparable molecular masses because of weak molecular association in aldehydes and ketones due to dipole-dipole interactions.
**Statement II:** The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are lower than the alcohols of similar molecular masses due to the absence of H-bonding.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
