Question

Which of the molecules below can hydrogen bond to another of the same compound?A)  CH 3 CH 2 OCH 2 CH 3 B)  CH 3 CH 2 COOCH 3 C)  (CH 3 CH 2 )  2 CHOHD)  CH 3 CH 2 COCH 2 CH 3 E)  all of the above

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Hydrogen bonding requires a hydrogen atom that is covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atom (such as nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine) and another electronegative atom to serve as the hydrogen bond acceptor. Choice C, which represents a molecule with an -OH (hydroxyl) group, can form hydrogen bonds with another molecule of the same kind because the hydrogen in the -OH group can act as a hydrogen bond donor, and the oxygen can act as a hydrogen bond acceptor. Choices A, B, and D do not have this capability as described.

Which of the molecules below can hydrogen bond to another of the same compound?

A) CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃
B) CH₃CH₂COOCH₃
C) (CH₃CH₂) ₂CHOH
D) CH₃CH₂COCH₂CH₃
E) all of the above
