Do this by drawing bent water molecules as necessary and representing hydrogen bonds between water and the molecule using dashed lines. Be sure it is clear exactly which atoms on each molecule are involved in the hydrogen bonds. If it is not capable of forming hydrogen bonds with water explain why not.arrow_forwardThe melting point of benzoic acid is reported in the literature as 122.3°C.
