The solubility of (CH3CH2)2O and CH3CH2CH2CH2OH are both soluble in water to the same extent, yet (CH3CH2)2O has a much lower boiling point. Why?

A. CH3CH2CH2CH2OH is more polar.

B. CH3CH2CH2CH2OH is a greater molar mass.

C. CH3CH2CH2CH2OH can hydrogen bond with water.

D. (CH3CH2)2O is ionic.

E. (CH3CH2)2O can hydrogen bond with water, but not with itself.

i know the answer is E, but can you explain into more detail.

since it doesnt bond with itself make it have a lower boiling point since high boiling points have h-bonding
