Question

Which of the following statement is not correct for a Polar protic solvent?

• A. Solvents which do not readily donate H+
• B. Solvents which readily donate $H^{+}$
• C. Methanol and water are polar protic solvent
• D. H-bonding is present in polar protic solvent

Answer 1

The correct option is A Solvents which do not readily donate H+

Solvents which contain H-atoms bonded to a higher electronegative atom and readily donate $H^{+}$ are known as polar protic solvent.
For example : $C{H}_{3}OH,H_{2}O,C{H}_{3}COOHetc.$

Solvents which do not readily donate$H^{+}$ are known as polar aprotic solvent. hydrogen bonding is not present in polar aprotic solvent.
For example : DMSO, Acetone, Diethylether, Acetonitrile etc.
