Chapter 21, Problem 6Q

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Functional groups in the given table exhibiting hydrogen bonding intermolecular forces are to be stated. An explanation corresponding to the possibility of  ${\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CF}}_{\text{2}}$ exhibiting hydrogen bonding is to be stated.

Concept introduction: When hydrogen binds covalently to a highly electronegative atom such as fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen, then the bonding is called hydrogen bonding.
