Hydrogen bonding is a type of dipole-dipole interaction of molecules when the hydrogen is bonded to strong electronegative atom in the molecules.
The hydrogen bonding takes place within a molecule is called as intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

- During our lectures on polymeric materials, I used polyethylene as an example because of its very straightforward structure. Draw a diagram of a long-chain molecule of polyethylene that consists of six units (or mers) of ethylene along with the starting and endpoint OH-. Include bonds in your diagram.arrow_forwardDuring our lectures on polymeric materials, I used polyethylene as an example because of its very straightforward structure. (a.) Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is used as an initiator for the polymerization of ethylene. Draw a diagram of a dissociated hydrogen peroxide molecule which emphasizes the creation of two free radicals (unbonded electrons) that can serve as initiators or as terminators of polymerization.arrow_forwardAcetylene is a very weak acid; however, it will react with moist silver(I) oxide and form water and a compound composed of silver and carbon. Addition of a solution of HCl to a 0.2352-g sample of the compound of silver andcarbon produced acetylene and 0.2822 g of AgCl.(a) What is the empirical formula of the compound of silver and carbon?(b) The production of acetylene on addition of HCl to the compound of silver and carbon suggests that the carbon is present as the acetylide ion, C22− . Write the formula of the compound showing the acetylide ion.arrow_forward
