Question

The methanal, ethanal and propanone are miscible with water because they form (A) van der Waals' forces with water (B) 'H'-bond with water (C) dipole-dipole bond with water (D) ion-dipole bond with water

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The lower members of aldehydes and ketones such as methanal, ethanal and propanone are miscible with water in all proportions because they form hydrogen bond with water.
