Statement I is correct as boiling point of alcohol phenols increase with increase in the number of C -atoms due to increase in van der Waals forces. Statement II is correct, since alcohols phenols have intermolecular H -bonding therefore their boiling points are higher in comparison to other class of compounds such as ethers, haloalkanes.
Given below are two statements : Statement (I) : The boiling points of alcohols and phenols increase with increase in the number of C-atoms.…

Given below are two statements: Statement I: $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \stackrel{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}}$ is more stable than $\stackrel{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_{3}$ as nine hyperconjugation interactions are possible in $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \stackrel{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}}$. Statement II: $\stackrel{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_{3}$ is less stable than $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \stackrel{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}}$ as only three hyperconjugation interactions are possible in $\stackrel{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_{3}$.
