Chemistry · Elementary idea of metallic bonding, hydrogen bonding and its applications

Which of the following is not the consequence of -bonding?

Which of the following is not the consequence of \( \boldsymbol{H} \) -bonding?

  • A. Glycerol is more soluble in water than ethanol
  • B. Boiling point of \( C_{2} H_{5} O H \) is higher than \( C H_{3}-O- \) \( C H_{3} \)
  • C. p-nitrophenol has higher boiling point than onitrophenol
  • D. \( H C l \) is water soluble due to \( H \) -bonding.

Step-by-step solution

HCl is a polar molecule, but H is bonded to Cl, which is not among N, O, or F; thus HCl does not form hydrogen bonds. Its solubility in water is due to dipole-dipole interactions and ionization, not hydrogen bonding. Options A, B, and C are consequences of hydrogen bonding.
