Chapter 3, Problem 3F.12E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Among ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{OCH}}_3$, ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{COOH}$, ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{OH}$ and ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{CHO}$, molecules that are likely to form hydrogen bonds have to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Hydrogen bonds are formed when hydrogen atoms are connected to highly electronegative elements like $\text{N}$, $\text{O}$ and $\text{F}$. It is the strongest intermolecular interaction.
