Intermolecular hydrogen bonding is strongest in
Intermolecular hydrogen bonding is strongest in
Options
- Amethylamine
- Bphenol
- Cformaldehyde
- Dmethanol.
Correct answer
D. methanol.
Step-by-step solution
Methanol has group due to which there will be more intermolecular hydrogen bonding among the given molecules.
We know that with the increase of electronegativity and decrease in size of the atom to which hydrogen is covalently linked, the strength of the hydrogen bond increases.
