Consider the following statements about alcohols:
(i) Alcohols contain a polar O- H bond and hence mix well with polar solvents like water.
(ii) Alcohols form hydrogen bonds with water.
(iii) Alcohols have a higher boiling point compared to hydrocarbons with the same number of carbon atoms.
(iv) For the most part, alcohols are toxic.
Which statement(s) is(are) true?
