An ether has a lower boiling point than an aldehyde of the same mass (or number of C atoms). Why is this? a. the ether, containing a carbonyl group, interacts more strongly (ether molecule to ether molecule) than does an aldehyde (molecule to molecule), b. The ether, with its single O atom, can H bond to only 2 water molecules. c. The ether, with its single O atom and no attached H atom, does not form H bonds and does not have a dipole for dipole/dipole interaction. d. All of the above.
