Hydrogen bonding is maximum in

Adiethyl ether
Btriethyl amine
Cethanol
Correct Answer
DNone of these

Solution

Hydrogen bonding is maximum in $$\displaystyle ethanol$$.
The electronegativity of $$\displaystyle N(3.0)$$ is less than that of $$\displaystyle O(3.5)$$. Amines are more polar than $$\displaystyle alkanes$$ but less polar than $$\displaystyle alcohols$$. Higher is the polarity, higher is the extent of hydrogen bonding.
