Solution

The correct option is D ${C H}_{3} O H$
The number of hydrogen bonds in the compounds is:
$H F = 2$
$H_{2} O = 3$
$N H_{3} = 4$
$C H_{3} O H = 5$
Therefore, $C H_{3} O H$ shows maximum hydrogen bonding.

Question 04

Hydrogen bonds are formed in many compounds e.g., $H_{2} O, H F, N H_{3}$ . The boiling point of such compounds depends to a extent on the strength of hydrogen bond and the number of hydrogen bonds. The correct decreasing order of the boiling points above compounds is
