Diol

In chemistry there are so many chemical compounds that have a hydroxyl group but a chemical compound having two hydroxyl groups (-OH) is termed as a diol. It also implies the presence of two alcohols whereas polyols contain two or more than two hydroxyl groups (-OH). Glycol or 1,2-diol is an aliphatic diol that has two alcohol groups on adjacent carbon atoms. In industries, the most commonly used diol is ethylene glycol.

Question

Give a brief answer to explain why acetic acid has a much higher BP (118 C) than 1-
propanol (BP = 97 C) even though they both have the same size (molecular weight =
60) and they both form Hydrogen bonds.
