Answer:

(c) CH₂F₂

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrogen bonds are weak intermolecular forces. They are the strongest kind of intermolecular forces, although they are weaker than the covalent bonds.

Hydrogen bonds arise from molecules which contain a hydrogen atom which is bonded to one of the most electronegative elements such as N, O or F.

(a) HF, → has H-F bond

(b) CH₃NH₂, → has N-H bond

(c) CH₂F₂, → has no H-F bond ( F- C- F)

(d) HOCH₂CH₂OH, → has O-H bond

Therefore, only CH₂F₂ does not exhibit hydrogen bonding.
