Hydrogen bonding plays a central role in the following phenomena.

A

Ice floats in water.

B

Higher Lewis basicity of primary amines than tertiary amines in aqueous solutions

C

Formic acid is more acidic than acetic acid.

D

Dimerization of acetic acid in benzene.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, D
Due to hydrogen bonding ice has cage like structure . In the case of amines the order is `1^(@) gt 2^(@) gt 3^(@) ` as primary amine forms maximum hydrogen bonds compared to secondary and tertiary . Acetic acid dimerize in benzene due to hydrogen bonding .
