Water has a boiling point of 100 °C, and alcohol has a boiling point of 78 °C, even though water is a smaller molecule. This large difference in boiling point is due to
A) weak dipole-dipole attractions in the alcohol molecules.
B) ionic bonds between the water molecules.
C) covalent bonds in the alcohol molecules.
D) more hydrogen bonds between the water molecules.
E) more hydrogen bonds between the alcohol molecules.
