In which substance do the molecules have the strongest attractions to one another?

1 answer:

8 0

The substance that the molecules have the strongest attractions to one another is the sugar, a solid. The answer is letter A. The solid has a more definite shape and volume. The particles are locked into place. It cannot be further compressed due to the bond that exists between the molecules. The kinetic energy of the molecules is close to none because the molecules are so close and so compact with each other.

Which of the following molecules would be the best hydrogen bond donor?

leva [86]

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, $CH_{3}SH$ will easily donate hydrogen atom.

Thus, we can conclude that $CH_{3}SH$ molecule would be the best hydrogen bond donor.
