Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Formaldehyde can undergo intermolecular hydrogen bonding with water molecules when it is in a solution with water. Acetone, however, cannot form intermolecular hydrogen bonds since there is no hydrogen bonding present, and pure formaldehyde does not have intermolecular hydrogen bonds either because it is not in a solution.
