i think it must be diethyl ether

  • Anurag Ghosh Swarna how???....and haan also tell me among alcohols,ethers and carboxylic acids,which is having the highest b.p with reason???...Getting confused in this..:P
  • Swarna Kamal Dhyawala becoz in ethers the oxygen is not attached to hydrogen so hydrogen bonding is not possible carboxylic acid > alcohols > ethers carboxylic acids form stable dimers ,so it has high b.pt

Yes,i found the answer as diethyl ether .
There is no any H-N, H-O or H-F bond in the entire molecule of diethyl ether(CH3CH2-O-CH2CH3).
For a molecule to have hydrogen bonding, there must be an H-N, H-O or H-F bond somewhere in the molecule.
