Which of the following can form Hydrogen bonding with each other?

Correct answer: C. Amine and H2O

  • A. Methanal and Ethanol
  • B. Propane and Ethyl Methyl Ketone
  • C. Amine and H2O
  • D. Acetone and Acetaldehyde

Explanation

Option C is correct. Amines and water can form hydrogen bonds due to the presence of hydrogen atoms attached to the electronegative nitrogen in amines, which can interact with the oxygen in water. This interaction is crucial for many biological and chemical processes.In contrast, Option A (Methanal and Ethanol) cannot bond due to the lack of sufficiently electronegative hydrogen in methanal. Option B (Propane and Ethyl Methyl Ketone) involves nonpolar molecules that do not form hydrogen bonds. Lastly, Option D (Acetone and Acetaldehyde) fails to bond as neither has hydrogen directly bonded to an electronegative atom, preventing 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.
