(a)
Interpretation:
Between the given molecules the compound that can form hydrogen bonding has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Hydrogen bonding: It is an
This type of bonding does not sharing of electrons in a covalent bond; it is attraction between the positive and negative poles of charges atoms.
Polarity: It is a well separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or chemical compounds having an electrical dipole moment. Generally the polar molecules must contain polar bonds due to a different in electronegative between the bonded atoms.
(b)
Interpretation:
The compound that forms hydrogen bonds with a solvent such as ethanol has to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Hydrogen bonding: It is a electromagnetic attraction between polar molecules with hydrogen bonds to a larger atom (for example oxygen or nitrogen) atoms.
This type of bonding does not sharing of electrons in a covalent bond; it is attraction between the positive and negative poles of charges atoms.
Polarity: It is a well separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or chemical compounds having an electrical dipole moment. Generally the polar molecules must contain polar bonds due to a different in electronegative between the bonded atoms.

What prefix or suffix is used to name each functional group? What are the bond angles in each? Describe the bonding in each functional group. What is the difference between a primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohol? For the functional groups in ah, when is a number required to indicate the position of the functional group? Carboxylic acids are often written as RCOOH. What does COOH indicate and what does R indicate? Aldehydes are sometimes written as RCHO. What does CHO indicate?arrow_forwardMethanol is fairly volatile and evaporates quickly if spilled. Methanol is also absorbed quite readily through the skin. If, in the laboratory, methanol accidentally spilled on your clothing, why would it be a serious mistake to just let it evaporate?arrow_forward
