Solution
The correct option is D
H2O
H2O can form hydrogen bonds. CH4 and CHCl3 are organic compounds having no oxygen while NaCl has the intra-ionic attraction in the molecule.
Question:
Which of following compounds could form a hydrogen bond with another molecule of the same compound?
Select all that apply.
A.{eq}CCl_4 {/eq}
B. {eq}NH_3 {/eq}
C. {eq}CH_3OCH_3 {/eq}
D. {eq}H_2CO {/eq}
E. {eq}CH_3OH {/eq}
Hydrogen Bonding:
Hydrogen bonding is a strong type of intermolecular force which involves the attraction between a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative atom like fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen of a molecule.
They can either by intermolecular (between two molecules) or intramolecular (within a single molecule).
Answer and Explanation: 1
Among the given molecules, {eq}NH_{3} {/eq} and {eq}CH_{3}OH {/eq} can form hydrogen bonds with their own molecules as they both have highly polar hydrogen atoms and the highly electronegative atoms.
{eq}CH_{3}OCH_{3} {/eq} and {eq}H_{2}CO {/eq} cannot form hydrogen bonds with their own molecules but with others like with water molecules.
{eq}CCl_{4} {/eq} is incapable of forming hydrogen bonds at all.
