Alcohols

The boiling points of alcohols increases as the chain length increases decreases( increases, decreases ) because there are more fewer( more, fewer ) surface area contacts and stronger induced dipole-dipole permanent dipole-dipole permanent dipole-induced dipole( induced dipole-dipole, permanent dipole-dipole, permanent dipole-induced dipole ) interactions (London forces). Hydrogen bonds also increase the intermolecular force of attraction. The higher the forces of attraction the more less( more, less ) energy needed to break the bonds.
