Question

Which of the following pure compounds will exhibit hydrogen bonding?

Answer 1

Explanation:

For a compound to show hydrogen bonding it is necessary that the hydrogen atom of the compound should be attached to more electronegative atom like fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen.

For example, $CH_{3}CH_{2}OH$, $CH_{3}NH_{2}$ and $NH_{3}$ all these compounds contain an electronegative atom attached to hydrogen atom.

Therefore, these pure compounds will exhibit hydrogen bonding.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options $CH_{3}CH_{2}OH$, $CH_{3}NH_{2}$ and $NH_{3}$ are the pure compounds which will exhibit hydrogen bonding.
