Which of the following pairs of molecules can form hydrogen bonds between them? A)HCl and HI B)CH ₃OH and NH ₃ C)CH ₄ and H ₂O D)SO ₂ and CH ₂O E)H ₂ and O ₂

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both CH3OH and NH3 have hydrogen atoms bonded to electronegative atoms (O and N, respectively) which can act as hydrogen bond acceptors, and both have hydrogen atoms that can act as hydrogen bond donors. Thus, they are capable of forming hydrogen bonds between them. The other choices do not have the necessary functional groups for hydrogen bonding to occur.
