Question

Hydrogen bonding is maximum in (a) Ethanol (b) Diethyl ether(c) Ethyl chloride (d) Triethylamine

Answer 1

hey!! mate

your answer is - - - -

Ethanol. ......

because oxygen is more electronegative....... the answer would have been tri ethyl amine.... due to three ethyl groups but there is no hydrogen connected to nitrogen....

Answer 2

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \tt{Hydrogen \: \: bonding \: \: is \: \: maximum \: \: in :} \\ \\ \tt{1. \: Ethanol \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \huge{\underline{ \checkmark \:} } }\\ \\ \tt{2. \: Dimethyl \: \: Ether }\\ \\ \tt{ 3. \: Ethyl \: \: Chloride } \\ \\ \tt{4. \: Triethyl \: \: Amine}$

$\star$ Hydrogen bonding is maximum in Ethanol due to the presence of highly polar group - OH.
