The hydrogen bonds that form between water molecules account for some of the essential and unique properties of water. The attraction created by hydrogen bonds keepswater liquid over a wider range of temperature than is found for any other molecule its size.
Hope this helped!
A negative ion or anion is an electrically charged atom or group of atoms that are formed by gaining one or more electrons. Whereas a positive ion or cation is an electrically charged atom or group of atoms that are formed by losing one or more electrons.
The losing and gaining all occurs on the outermost shell.
Answer: The answer is D. This has a Carboxylic Acid group, and is acetic acid, or Ethanoic Acid.
ALWAYS LOOK for the Functional Group in question.
A. Would likely not stay in water, or at least not be acidic, for it is butane gas.
B. Is 1-propanol, and alcohols are not acidic as a rule. Certainly not in water.
C. This is an Ether. It will not give up an H+, it it not an acid.
E. This functional group is an amine, which is more “base” like, since the lone pairs of the Nitrogen atom would tend to attract a H+.
