Question

Which of the following pure compounds will exhibit hydrogen bonding?

a.) CH3CH2OHb.) CH2Oc.) C2H4d.) C2H2e.) CH3OCH3f.) CH3NH2g.) C3H8h.) NH3

Answer 1

Step-by-step 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.
