Hydrogen bond is a weak bond formed between hydrogen atoms and highly electronegative elements. It is of two types - intermolecular and intramolecular. It is a weaker bond than ionic, covalent and metallic bonds.
Which is a correct statement?

A

Paranitrophenol is steam volatile but not orthonitrophenol.

B

Ethyl alcohol is more viscous than glycerol.

C

If a dry paper is torn, sound is heard due to breaking of hydrogen bonds one after another in a rhythmatic manner.

D

In fermic salt, bonds present are covalent, metallic and hydrogen bond.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
