Intermolecular hydrogen bonding is strongest in

A

Methylamine

B

Pheno1

C

Formaldehyde

D

Methano1

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Formaldehyde can t form intermolecular H bonds in pheno1 the lone pair of electrons of oxygen atom are in In phenol the lone pair of electrons of oxygen atom are in conjugation with the `pi` electrons of benzene ring and `N` of amine is less electronsegative than oxygen Thus correct order is
Methanol gt methylaminegtPhenol .
