Question

The N H 2 group makes the molecule an amine. Like alcohols, amines can participate in hydrogen bonding. If the drawn molecule encounters water molecules, there will be (select all that apply): a hydrogen bond between the hydrogen of water and the carbon of the amine. a hydrogen bond between the hydrogen of water and the nitrogen of the amine. a hydrogen bond between the oxygen of water and a hydrogen from the -NH2 group. a hydrogen bond between the oxygen of water and a hydrogen from the -CH3 group. no hydrogen bonds.

Answer 1

Answer:

a hydrogen bond between the hydrogen of water and the nitrogen of the amine

a hydrogen bond between the oxygen of water and a hydrogen from the -NH2 group

Explanation:

A hydrogen bond is formed between molecules in which hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative element.

In amines, hydrogen is bonded to nitrogen while in water, hydrogen is bonded to oxygen. Both are highly electronegative elements hence hydrogen bonding is possible between amines and water.

This hydrogen bond may involve;

The hydrogen of water and the nitrogen of the amine

Or

The oxygen of water and a hydrogen from the -NH2 group
