Question

which one of the following elements is least likely to participate in a hydrogen bond​

Answer 1

Answer:

Carbon atom is the least likely atom that would participate in hydrogen bonds in water if present in a molecule. Hydrogen bond is a type of bond that occurs between a hydrogen atom and a more electronegative atom such as oxygen and nitrogen.

hope it helps u

Answer 2

The least likely to participate in a hydrogen bond is Carbon.

The Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic force of attraction between a hydrogen atom with electronegative atom or group.

Explanation:

It is the intermolecular forces between the hydrogen and adjacent molecules.

Hydrogen bond takes place between hydrogen and nitrogen, oxygen and fluorine.

Hydrogen bonding can be intermolecular and intramolecular.

Carbon has electronegativity close to hydrogen so it is least likely to form a hydrogen bond.
