Which of the following molecules would be the best hydrogen bond donor?
1 answer:
Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
When a hydrogen atom comes in contact with an electronegative atom then it results in the formation of a chemical bond.
More is the electronegativity of combining atom, more stronger will be the bond with hydrogen atom. As a result, the compound formed will not easily give up hydrogen atom upon dissociation.
Whereas less is the electronegativity of atom combining with hydrogen atom, easily it will donate the hydrogen atom upon dissociation.
Since, out of the given option sulfur (S) atom has low electronegativity as compared to oxygen and nitrogen atom.
Hence, will easily donate hydrogen atom.
Thus, we can conclude that molecule would be the best hydrogen bond donor.

Answer : The Lewis-dot structure and resonating structure of is shown below.
Explanation :
Resonance structure : Resonance structure is an alternating method or way of drawing a Lewis-dot structure for a compound.
Resonance structure is defined as any of two or more possible structures of the compound. These structures have the identical geometry but have different arrangements of the paired electrons. Thus, we can say that the resonating structure are just the way of representing the same molecule.
First we have to determine the Lewis-dot structure of .
Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.
In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.
The given molecule is,
As we know that sulfur and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.
Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in = 6 + 4(6) + 2 = 32
According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 12 number of bonding electrons and 20 number of non-bonding electrons.
Hence, the Lewis-dot structure and resonating structure of is shown below.
