Assertion (A): The boiling point of ethanol is higher than that of methoxymethane.
Reason (R): There is intramolecular hydrogen bonding in ethanol.
Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
Step 1: Understanding boiling point comparison. Ethanol has a higher boiling point than methoxymethane due to the presence of hydrogen bonding between ethanol molecules, which requires more energy to break these interactions.
Step 2: Reason for the boiling point difference. The intramolecular hydrogen bonding in ethanol is the reason for its higher boiling point compared to methoxymethane, as methoxymethane lacks such hydrogen bonding.
Step 3: Conclusion. Since both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) correctly explains Assertion (A), the correct answer is option (A).
