Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The maximum number of hydrogen bonds that can form between a dimethylamine molecule and other dimethylamine molecules has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Due to the lone pair of electrons that is present on the nitrogen in the amine functional group, hydrogen bonding is possible between amine molecules and also with water molecules.
(b)
Interpretation:
The maximum number of hydrogen bonds that can form between a dimethylamine molecule and other water molecules has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Amine is an organic compound that has nitrogen atom bonded to a hydrogen atom as its functional group.
Due to the lone pair of electrons that is present on the nitrogen in the amine functional group, hydrogen bonding is possible between amine molecules and also with water molecules.
