Answer:
(B) F⁻, HCOOH
Explanation:
(A) CH₄, HCOOH
(B) F⁻, HCOOH
(C) F⁻, CH₃-O-CH₃
The hydrogen bonds are formed when the hydrogen is found between two electronegative atoms such as oxygen (O), nitrogen (N) or florine (F).
O····H-O, F····H-O, O····H-N
(A) CH₄, HCOOH
- here methane CH₄ is not capable to form hydrogen bond with water
- formic acid HCOOH can form hydrogen bonds with water
H-C(=O)-O-H····OH₂
(B) F⁻, HCOOH
-both floride (F⁻) and formic acid can form hydrogen bonds with water
F····OH₂
H-C(=O)-O-H····OH₂
(C) F⁻, CH₃-O-CH₃
- dimethyl-ether CH₃-O-CH₃ is not capable to form hydrogen bond with water
- floride (F⁻) can form hydrogen bonds with water
F····OH₂
