In which of the following molecules is hydrogen bonding likely to be the most significant component of the total intermolecular
1 answer:
Answer:
The given molecules are:
a. C6H13NH2
b. CH3OH
c. CH4
d. C5H11OH
e. CO2
Explanation:
The hydrogen bond is a weak electrostatic force of attarction that exists between covalently bonded hydrogen (of -OH or -NH2 or HF) with a highly electronegative atom like N,O and F.
Hydrogen bonding is of two types:
Intermolecular hydrogen bond (exists between two molecules)
Intramolecular hydrogen bond(exists within a molecule).
For example intermolecular hydrogen bond in water is shown below:
Among the given options,
a. C6H13NH2 has -NH2 linkage which leads to hydrogen bond formation.
b. CH3OH has -OH bond and it leads to hydrogen bond fomation.
d. C5H11OH has also -OH bond and it leads to hydrogen bond fomation.
Reamining molecules, CH4 and CO2 do not form hydrogen bond.
Hence, answer is:
options a,b,d.
