Explanation:
Picture A which shows an overall negative charge represents an anion. Anion are formed when an atom gains an electron. In doing that, the total number of electrons (negative charge) is greater than the number of protons (positive charge), hence it would have an overall negative charge.
Picture B which shows a neutral charge represents a neutral atom. In an atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons.
Picture C which shows an overall positive charge represents a cation. Cation are formed when an atom loses an electron. In doing that, the total number of electrons (negative charge) is less than the number of protons (positive charge), hence it would have an overall positive charge.
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.
