alcohols have oh group attached to the carbon chain , so, that it causes hydrogen bonding within the molecules or with the surrounding molecules but ether have o group which is not attac hed to any hydrogen , by direct method , so, it is not avaliable in hydrogen bonding ,
due to this additional hydrogen bonding , it becomes difficult to break the bonding ,so, despite of the same molecular mass , ethers have high boiling point /.
