Two molecules that contain the same number of each kind of atom but that have different molecular structures are said to be isomers of each other. For example, both ethyl alcohol and dimethyl ether (shown below) have the formula $\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6} \mathrm{O}$ and are isomers. Based on considerations of intermolecular forces, which substance would you expect to be more volatile? Which would you expect to have the higher boiling point? Explain. $$ \begin{array}{ll}{\text { dimethyl ether }} & {\text { ethyl alcohol }} \\ {\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{CH}_{3}} & {\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{OH}}\end{array} $$
