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