Answer #1


Hydrogen bonds formed between H atom and a more electro negative [O,N,or F] atom attached
to it.
amide - -CO-NH2
here there is H atom attached to N atom .Hence it forms hydrogen bonds
Yes
******
aromatic ring- There is no atoms like N,F or O present in it. So no hydrogen bond can be formed
No
**********
Amine - -NH2 .There is N atom attached to H atom. Hence hydrogen bonds can form
Yes
***********
Carboxylic acid: -COOH
Since O atom attached to H atom. Hence H.bond forms in carboxylic acid
yes
*********
Alcohol - -OH
There is O atom attached to H atom in the functional group. Hence alcohols form H.bonds
Yes
****
Ester :: - COOR

There is no H atom attached to oxygen atom present in functional group. Hence no H.bonds in ester

No
*********
ether :: -O-
There is no H atom attached to O atom present in functional group. Hence no H bonds
No
**************
Ketone : >C=O there is no H atom attached to O atom present in functional group
So no H.bond
No
