Assertion :Suger and alcohols are soluble in water. Reason: They have O−H bonds which bind to water by hydrogen bonding
A hydrogen bond is the electrostatic attraction between two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen atom covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine experiences the electrostatic field of another highly electronegative atom nearby. This type of bond can occur in inorganic molecules such as water and in organic molecules like DNA and proteins.
Sugar and alcohol have hydroxyl group that binds to water forming hydrogen bond, which makes both of them soluble in water.
