1) The carbonyl group of aldehydes and ketones is polar where the ⸹+ symbol is placed on the oxygen atom and the ⸹- symbol is placed on the carbon atom. a) True b) False 2) Why is the boiling points of ethers similar to thise of alkanes instead of alcohols? a) Both ether molecules and alkanes molecules are polar, whereas alcohol molecules are nonpolar. b) Hydrogen bonding between ethr molecules is strong and this property is similar to that of alkanes. However, hydrogen bonding is weaker in alcohols than it is in both ethers and alkanes. c) Although ether molecules are polar, they cannot form hydrogen bonds with other ether molecules. Similarly, alkane molecules do not form hydrogen bonds, whereas there is hydrogen bonding in alcohols. d) None of these are correct explanations
