Consider the following molecules and statements related to them:

(a) (B) is more likely to be crystaline than (A)
(b) (B) has higher boiling point than (A)
(c) (B) dissolves more readily than (A) in water
Identify the correct option from below:
- A(a) and (b) are true
- B(a) and (c) are true
- Conly (a) is true
- Correct answerD(b) and (c) are true
Solution
The molecules of are joined by intermolecular hydrogen bonding and molecules of associated through dipole-dipole interactions.Hence, the B is more likely to be crystalline than A. Due to inter molecularBonding in , than is more soluble and having more boiling point than .
*Note: All the three statements given in the question are correct but the given answer according to NTA, is statements (b) and (c).
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
