Question

The compound in which hydrogen bonding is not possible is
Options
A CH3OCH3
Correct Answer
B H2O
C CH3CH2OH
D CH3COOH
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3) has no O-H or N-H bond, so it cannot form hydrogen bonds (it has no hydrogen bond donor). Water, ethanol, and acetic acid all have O-H bonds and can hydrogen bond.

Hint

Which compound lacks an O-H or N-H bond?
