  1. CH4
  2. H2O
  3. CO2
  4. N2

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In which of the following molecules does hydrogen bonding occur?
  • Step 1: Identify the molecules given in the question.
  • Step 2: Look for hydrogen atoms in the molecules.
  • Step 3: Check if the hydrogen atoms are bonded to highly electronegative atoms like oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine.
  • Step 4: If hydrogen is bonded to these electronegative atoms, hydrogen bonding can occur.
  • Step 5: In the case of H2O (water), it has hydrogen atoms bonded to oxygen, which is highly electronegative.
  • Step 6: Conclude that hydrogen bonding occurs in H2O due to the strong dipole interactions created.
