What is an intramolecular hydrogen bond?

Options

  1. AIt is formed within the same molecule.
  2. BIt is formed between two different molecules of the same or different compounds.
  3. CIt is formed between two oxygen atoms.
  4. DIt is formed within the same atom.

Correct answer

A. It is formed within the same molecule.

Step-by-step solution

An intramolecular hydrogen bond is formed when a hydrogen atom is within the same molecule, typically between two highly electronegative atoms (F, O, N) within that molecule.
