H-bonding is involved in:
Correct answer: D. All
- A. Solubility
- B. Cleansing action
- C. Adhesive nature
- D. All
Explanation
Hydrogen Bonding: Involved in solubility. Involved in cleansing action. Involved in adhesive nature. Solubility: Polar molecules can dissolve in water because they can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Nonpolar molecules cannot dissolve in water because they cannot form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Cleansing Action: Soaps and detergents work by forming micelles around dirt and oil particles. The micelles are then washed away with water. Adhesive Nature: Water is adhesive because it can form hydrogen bonds with other molecules. This allows water to stick to other surfaces.

About Hydrogen Bonding
Hydrogen bonding is the strong attraction between hydrogen attached to nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine and an electronegative atom in the same or another molecule. It explains unusual boiling points, viscosity, surface tension, water's properties and the difference between intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
