Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following compounds exhibits hydrogen bonding?
  • Step 1: Understand what hydrogen bonding is. Hydrogen bonding occurs when a hydrogen atom is bonded to a highly electronegative atom like nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine.
  • Step 2: Identify the compounds given in the question. Look for compounds that contain hydrogen bonded to nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine.
  • Step 3: Check the structure of NH3 (ammonia). NH3 has nitrogen (N) bonded to three hydrogen (H) atoms.
  • Step 4: Confirm that nitrogen is a highly electronegative atom. This means it can attract the hydrogen's electron, allowing for hydrogen bonding.
  • Step 5: Conclude that NH3 exhibits hydrogen bonding because it has hydrogen bonded to nitrogen.
