Honey contain glucose and fructose along with some other ingredients, it has greater viscosity due to
Correct answer: A. hydrogen bonding
- A. hydrogen bonding
- B. irregular shape of the molecules
- C. irregular shape of the molecules and strong intermolecular forces
- D. greater molecular size
Explanation
The greater viscosity of honey is primarily attributed to the presence of hydrogen bonding between the molecules in honey, specifically involving the hydroxyl groups of glucose and fructose with water molecules. Hydrogen bonding creates stronger intermolecular forces, resulting in a thicker and stickier consistency.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
