What is the effects of alpha hydrogen in boiling point of ketone and aldehyde?
Important Questions on Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Given below are two statements:
Statement : 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.
Statement : The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are lower than the alcohols of similar molecular masses due to the absence of -bonding.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
