All of the follolwing molecules have H-bonding EXCEPT:

Correct answer: D. Propanone

  • A. Ethanol
  • B. Ethanoic acid
  • C. Aminoethane
  • D. Propanone

Explanation

Option D is correct.Propanone does not have hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen bonding is a type of intermolecular force that occurs between a hydrogen atom that is covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atom, such as oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine, and another atom that has a lone pair of electrons. The hydrogen atom is attracted to the lone pair of electrons, and this attraction creates a weak bond between the two atoms.Propanone does not have a hydrogen atom that is covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atom. Therefore, propanone does not have hydrogen bonding.

About Chemical Bonding

Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
