Which of the following pairs of compounds will not form H-bonds with each other?

  1. Ethanol-methanol
  2. Ethanol-water
  3. chloroform-acetone
  4. carbon tetrachloride-acetone

Correct answer: carbon tetrachloride-acetone

Solution

Carbon tetrachloride has no hydrogen atoms bonded to an electronegative atom, so it cannot donate H-bonds. Acetone can accept H-bonds, but without a donor partner, no hydrogen bonding occurs between these two compounds.
