Methanol, CH3OH, dissolves completely in water to form a solution that does not conduct electricity. Which of the following diagrams best shows the major type of attractive force that exists between the particles in the solution?
C) [the diagram shows Methanol attracted to a water atom with a dashed line; the Oxygen atom from Methanol is attracted to a Hydrogen atom from water]

Respuesta :

The diagram that best shows the major type of attractive force that exists between the particles in the solution is diagram B which shows hydrogen bonding.

The coreect ansdwer is B.

What is hydrogen bonding?

Hydrogen bonding is a type of intermolecular bonding that occurs between hydrogen atoms that are bonded to strongly electronegative elements like oxygen, chlorine, fluorine, and nitrogen.

Due to the stronger attraction of the electronegative elements to the shared electron pair, the electronegative element acquires a partial negative charge while the hydrogen atom acquires a partial negative charge. This uneven charge distribution results in the atoms of hydrogen being attracted to the atoms of the electronegative elements of neighboring molecules, thus producing hydrogen bonding.

Hydrogen bonding exists in water as well as in methanol. The dissolution of methanol in water is due to the hydrogen bonds formed between the molecules
