Q. Which of the following has strongest hydrogen bonding ?

BVP MedicalBVP Medical 2008

Solution:

Ethyl alcohol forms stronger $ H- $ bonds than ethylamine or ammonia due to greater electronegativity of oxygen than nitrogen atom. Diethyl ether, however, does not form $ H- $ bonds since, it does not have a $ H- $ atom attached to $ O- $ atom.
