Question

Among HF,cH4,cH30H and N2o4 intermolecular hydrogen bonding is expected a.in all b.in all expect one c.in two d.in none​

Answer 1

Answer:

c. in two

Explanation:

Here Intermolecular Hydrogen bonding is present in HF and CH3OH only. CH4 and N2O4 do not show intermolecular Hydrogen bonding.

Intermolecular H-bonding is present between highly electronegative element and Hydrogen

Fluorine is the most electronegative element as it has 5 electrons in 2p shell. So HF will have intermolecular H-bonds.

Oxygen has high electronegativity as well. It can form intermolecular H-bonds with hydrogen in CH3OH.
