Statement I:
The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are higher than hydrocarbons of comparable molecular masses because of weak molecular association in aldehydes and ketones due to dipole - dipole interactions.
Statements II:
The boiling points aldehydes and ketones are lower than the alcohols of similar molecular masses due to the absence of H-bonding.
In the light of the statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
(1) Both statements I and statements II are incorrect.
(2) Statement I is correct but statements II is incorrect
(3) Statements I is incorrect but statements II is correct.
