For which of the following molecules would the intermolecular forces be influenced mainly by hydrogen bonding? BrF5 C2H5OH H2S CH3NH INFLUENCE OR NOT
Those molecules which possess a H-atom bonded to a highly electronegative atom like N, O, F, exhibits the property of hydrogen bonding by making a hydrogen bond with the nearby electronegative atom. Among the given compounds C2H5OH, CH3NH2 will be influenced by H-bonding because both of these contain a hydrogen atom bonded to an strong electronegative atom O and N. Whereas, BrF5 does not contain a hydrogen atom and in H2S, S-atom is less electronegative therefore, these two will not be influenced by H-bonding.
