Which of the following pairs of compounds will not form H-bonds with each other?
- Ethanol-methanol
- Ethanol-water
- chloroform-acetone
- 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.
