Which of these will form hydrogen bonds? a. CH2Br2 b. CH3OCH2CH3 c. H2NCH2COOH d. H2SO3 e. CH3CH2OH

Which of these will form hydrogen bonds?

a. CH2Br2

b. CH3OCH2CH3

c. H2NCH2COOH

d. H2SO3

e. CH3CH2OH

Explanation:

A hydrogen bond is the weak electrostatic force of attraction that exists between a covalently bonded hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative atom like N,O, and F.

For example, water has a hydrogen bond between the hydrogen atoms of one molecule and the oxygen atom of another molecule.

Among the given molecules,

a. CH2Br2 does not have a hydrogen bond because it does not have N or O or F.

b. CH3OCH2CH3 does not have a hydrogen bond.

Due to the absence of -OH or -NH or H-F bonds.

c. H2NCH2COOH  shows hydrogen bonding.

d. H2SO3 has hydrogen bonding.

Due to the presence of -OH bond.

e. CH3CH2OH has hydrogen bonding.

Due to the presence of -OH bond.

b is the correct

he would use the colour black
