Q. Which one of the following pairs of molecules, never forms a hydrogen bond between them?

KVPYKVPY 2016

Solution:

Octane is considered to be non-polar, it will not be soluble in water. Since, water is a polar solvent. This will happen because octane (hydrocarbons in general) contains n either ionic groups, non-polar functional groups that can interact with water molecules. Thus, option (d) is correct for the fact that water and octane does not form hydrogen bond between them.
