Question

Can KCl form hydrogen bonds?

Answer 1

Answer:

Baxley 4. Circle all of the species below that can form a hydrogen bond in its pure form. ... C2H6 CH3NH2KCl CH3CH2CH2OHCH3OCHC2H6does not have O, N or F KCl is ionic and does not have any hydrogens In CH3OCH3the H's are not directly bonded to the O 3 5.

Explanation:

Any molecule which has a hydrogen atom attached directly to an oxygen or a nitrogen is capable of hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen bonds also occur when hydrogen is bonded to fluorine, but the HF group does not appear in other molecules

Answer 2

No, $KCL$ (Potassium Chloride) cannot form hydrogen bonds.

• The potassium atom has only one valence electron and Chlorine has 7 electrons so the Chlorine atom requires just one more electron for completing its octet, which it receives from the potassium atom which results in the formation of an ionic bond between potassium and chlorine and Potassium Chloride is formed.

• The kind of chemical bond that holds together the atoms of potassium and chlorine in a potassium chloride molecule is an ionic bond.

• A Hydrogen Bond is a bond where any molecule has a hydrogen atom attached directly to an oxygen or nitrogen

• An ionic bond is always formed between a metal and one non-metal. In Potassium Chloride, potassium is a metal and chlorine is a non-metal.

Hence, it is an ionic bond so, it will have no hydrogen bond present.
