Single Choice

The boiling point of aldehyde and ketones depend upon:

Aintermolecular dipole-dipole repulsion
Bintermolecular dipole-dipole attraction.
Correct Answer
Cintermolecular induced dipole-dipole attraction.
Dnone of these.

Solution



The boiling point generally depends on intermolecular force of attraction, stronger the force, higher is the boiling point.

Boiling points of aldehydes and ketone depends on intermolecular dipole-dipole attraction. Because of oxygen attached to carbon.

Option B is correct.
