Which of the following compounds shows maximum Hydrogen Bonding?
Correct answer: C. C6H5OH
- A. CH3OH
- B. CH3CH2OH
- C. C6H5OH
- D. C6H11OH
Explanation
Phenol has a benzene ring that can participate in pi-bonding (π-bonding) with other electron-rich aromatic systems in addition to forming hydrogen bonds. This makes it more likely to show stronger hydrogen bonding compared to the other options.

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.
