Alcohols have higher boiling points than do
ethers and alkanes of similar molar masses because the OH group allows alcohol
molecules to engage in hydrogen bonding.
Hope this helps

Consider 1-propanol, ethyl methyl ether, butane, 2-methylpropane, and 2-methyl-1-propene. The compound with the highest boiling point is 1-propanol because: a) 1-propanol can only be combusted b) 1-propanol
