Intramolecular hydrogen bonding is formed in
Options
- AH ₂ O
- Bsalicyladehyde
- CNH ₃
- Dbenzophenone
Correct answer
B. salicyladehyde
Step-by-step solution
The hydrogen bonding which takes place within a molecule itself is called intramolecular hydrogen bonding. It takes place in compounds containing two groups such that one group contains a H-atom linked to an electronegative atom and other group contains a highly electronegative atom linked to a lesser electronegative atom, the bond is formed between the H-atom of one group with the more electronegative atom such as F , O or N of the other group.
