Answer:

The correct option is: D.act as a Lewis base in water.

Explanation:    

Ammonia is a hydride of nitrogen with the chemical formula NH₃. It is a colorless gas with a characteristic pungent smell. According to the VSEPR theory, it has a trigonal pyramidal structure.  

In water, ammonia acts as a Lewis base due to the presence of lone pair on the nitrogen atom. Lewis bases are electron pair or lone pair donors.

4. Arrange the following substances in order of increasing boiling point: CH3CH2OH, HOCH2CH2OH, CH3CH2Cl , and ClCH2CH2OH A. CH3
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A molecules that will have more number of hydrogen bonding will has highest boiling point because to break the hydrogen bonds high heat needs to be provided.

So, in the molecule HOCH_{2}CH_{2}OH there is presence of two alcoholic groups. Hence, it will have strongest hydrogen bonding as compared to the rest of molecules.

In the molecule ClCH_{2}CH_{2}OH there will be hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole interactions. Hence, it boiling point will be slightly less than HOCH_{2}CH_{2}OH.

In the molecule CH_{3}CH_{2}OH, there will be only hydrogen bonding. Hence, its boiling point is less than ClCH_{2}CH_{2}OH.

In the molecule CH_{3}CH_{2}Cl, there is no hydrogen bonding but there will be only dipole-dipole interactions. Hence, its boiling point will be the least.

Therefore, we can conclude that increasing order of boiling point will be as follows.

        CH_{3}CH_{2}Cl < CH_{3}CH_{2}OH < ClCH_{2}CH_{2}OH < HOCH_{2}CH_{2}OH
