Hydrogen bonding in alcohols An alcohol is an organic molecule containing an -O-H group. Any molecule which has a hydrogen atom attached directly to an oxygen or a nitrogen is capable of hydrogen bonding. Such molecules will always have higher boiling points than similarly sized molecules which don't have an -O-H or an -N-H group. The hydrogen bonding makes the molecules "stickier", and more heat is necessary to separate them. Ethanol, CH3CH2-O-H, and methoxymethane, CH3-O-CH3, both have the same molecular formula, C2H6O. ---- Note: If you haven't done any organic chemistry yet, don't worry about the names.

They have the same number of electrons, and a similar length to the molecule. The van der Waals attractions (both dispersion forces and dipole-dipole attractions) in each will be much the same. However, ethanol has a hydrogen atom attached directly to an oxygen - and that oxygen still has exactly the same two lone pairs as in a water molecule. Hydrogen bonding can occur between ethanol molecules, although not as effectively as in water. The hydrogen bonding is limited by the fact that there is only one hydrogen in each ethanol molecule with sufficient + charge. Credit to: http://www.chemguide.co.uk/atoms/bonding/hbond.html

∙ 11y agoYes, it can.
Hydrogen bonding is an intermolecular force, that is, it occurs between molecules and is specific to Hydrogen and either Fluorine, Oxygen or Nitrogen.
The molecular formula of diethyl ether is C2H5-O-H5C2. The Oxygen in the middle of the molecule is likely to form bonds with Hydrogen from other diethyl ether molecules, and hence, diethyl ether can form hydrogen bonds.

∙ 11y agoNo. A hydrogen atom must covalently bond to an atom of N, O or F in order to be able to hydrogen bond. .

∙ 13y agoI may be wrong but I don't think so. HCl is ionically bonded - this bond will not break easily to form a covalent bond.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoEthanol is an alcohol with the molecular formula, C2H6O and it has six hydrogen atoms.

∙ 13y agoNo, but they form dialkyl oxonium chloride

∙ 16y agoNo, that would only occur in fairytales!

Hydrogen bonding occurs in molecules where hydrogen is bonded to what elements fluorine carbon oxygen nitrogen hydrogen boron?
the hydrogen bonding is possible in oxygen, nitrogen,and fluorine
Is hydrogen bonding is a type of bonding or not?
Hydrogen bonding is a type of intermolecular force of attractionAdded:This is between molecules.It is not as strong as chemical bonding within molecules (intramolecular) though.
Why is hydrogen bonding only possible with hydrogen?
hydrogen's nucleus is electron deficient when it bonds with an electronegative atoms
What are intermolecular hydrogen bonds?
The hydrogen bonding present between the two molecules is known as intermolecular hydrogen bonding, the molecules may be similar or may be dissimilar. The molecules having intermolecular hydrogen bonding have high melting and boiling points and low volatility. They are more soluble in water as compared to the molecules having intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
An example of a hydrogen bond is the bond between?
A common example of hydrogen bonding is the one between water molecules.Hydrogen bonding is an intermolecular type of bonding, so it occurs when the hydrogen of one molecule is attracted to the lone pairs of either Oxygen, Nitrogen or Fluorine because of their high electronegativity. Since water has two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom with lone pairs, the hydrogen bonds occur when a hydrogen of one water molecule is attracted to the lone pairs on another water molecule.what else can you give me on hydrogenHydrogen bonding takes place between the hydrogen and oxygen.
Why are there 4 bonds between sodium chloride and water after sodium chloride dissolves in water?
Due to extensive hydrogen bonding between the two compounds.
Is the attraction between sodium chloride and water a intermolecular force of an intramolecular bond?
its basically the hydrogen bonding mainly responsible for this attraction.
Why does gasoline interfere with the hydrogen bonding between ethanol molecules?
Possible because gasoline is nonpolar.
Why ethyl alcohol is a liquid while ethyl chloride is a gas?
Ethyl alcohol is a liquid because strong hydrogen bonding in it brings the molecules closer together while methyl chloride does not form hydrogen bonding,weaker forces exist between molecules of methyl and chloride due to which they lie at distance from each other till gas form.
Hydrogen bonding occurs in molecules where hydrogen is bonded to what elements fluorine carbon oxygen nitrogen hydrogen boron?
the hydrogen bonding is possible in oxygen, nitrogen,and fluorine
What type of intermolecular forces exist in alcohol?
Hydrogen bond form the intermolecular forces in methyl alcohol. That's the reason why methyl alcohol is soluble in water.
What type of bonding holds the two strands of DNA together and why is this important?
hydrogen bonding between the two bases present on two strands of dna hold the two strands. If there was no hydrogen bonding then doublex helix structure of dna would not be possible
What type of bonding is between magnesium and hydrochloric acid?
Hydrogen chloride has a covalent bond.
What of kind of bonds are found in water molecules?
hydrogen bonding between H2O and covalent bonding within the H2O molecule
Which type of bonding is formed by HCl?
Hydrogen chloride (diatomic molecule) has a polar covalent bond.
