Consider N-N'-dimethylurea and N,N'-dimethylacetamide.
a) Draw N-N'-dimethylurea and N,N'-dimethylacetamide.
b) Can N-N'-dimethylurea form hydrogen bonds with another molecule of N-N'-dimethylurea? If yes - draw the hydrogen bond between them, and if not - explain why they can't form hydrogen bonds.
c) Can N-N'-dimethylurea form hydrogen bonds with a molecule of water? If yes - draw the hydrogen bond between them, and if not - explain why they can't form hydrogen bonds.
d) Can N-N'-dimethylacetamide form hydrogen bonds with another molecule of N-N'-dimethylacetamide? If yes - draw the hydrogen bond between them, and if not - explain why can't they form hydrogen bonds.
e) Can N-N'-dimethylurea form hydrogen bonds with a molecule of diethyl ether? If yes - draw the hydrogen bond between them, and if not - explain why can't they form hydrogen bonds.
Thank you!
#A.
#B. Yes, see criteria for H-bonds formation and explanation below the molecules.
#C. Yes. see criteria for H-bonds formation and explanation below the molecules.
#D. No.
The molecule does NOT have a H-atom linked to a highly electronegative atom. In absence of such H-atoms, no hydrogen bond can form.
#E. Yes
Though diethyether does NOT have a H-atom linked to a highly electronegative atom; it has O-atom that can form H-bond with H-atom of dimethylurea.
