(a)
Interpretation:
The diagram showing the hydrogen bonding between water and unsubstituted amide is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The hydrogen bonding is formed between the electronegative atoms that are already bonded to hydrogen atoms. Mono and unsubstituted amides can form hydrogen bonding with other amides as they have hydrogen atom. Disubstituted amides can form hydrogen bonding only with water.
(b)
Interpretation:
The diagram showing the hydrogen bonding between two unsubstituted amides is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The hydrogen bonding is formed between the electronegative atoms that are already bonded to hydrogen atoms. Mono and unsubstituted amides can form hydrogen bonding with other amides as they have hydrogen atom. Disubstituted amides can form hydrogen bonding only with water.
