Expert Solution
Step 1

Since we only answer upto 3 sub-parts we'll answer first 3. Please resubmit the question and specify the other sub-parts you'd like answered.

Hydrogen bond is a chemical bond that is formed between the hydrogen and one electronegative atom.

For hydrogen bonding 2 conditions are necessary:

A hydrogen atom must bonded to electronegative atom.

Another atom must have free electron pairs to which the hydrogen atom can bond.

Step 2

a)

Compound:

Chemistry homework question answer, step 2, image 1

CBr3CH

No hydrogen in this molecule is bonded with electronegative element. All three such atoms bonded to carbon. So, not any hydrogen is available for hydrogen bonding.

Bromine has free electron pairs but not too much electronegative and  so its orbitals are too large for stable hydrogen bond formation.
