Question

Which of the following does not show hydrogen bonding?

• A. Ammonia, NH$_3$
• B. Hydrazine, N$_2$H$_4$
• C. Hydrogen peroxide, H$_2$O$_2$
• D. Dimethyl ether, CH$_3$OCH$_3$

Hint:

For hydrogen bonding to occur, hydrogen must be bonded to a highly electronegative atom like nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Hydrogen bonding occurs in molecules where hydrogen is bonded to highly electronegative atoms like nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine. Dimethyl ether does not exhibit hydrogen bonding because the hydrogen atoms are not directly bonded to an electronegative atom.
