Phenol

Vedclass · Answer

(B) Hydrogen bonding occurs when a hydrogen atom is covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atom like oxygen,nitrogen,or fluorine. In $Phenol$ $(C_6H_5OH)$,the hydrogen atom is directly attached to an oxygen atom,which is highly electronegative. This creates a dipole,allowing the hydrogen atom of one molecule to form a hydrogen bond with the oxygen atom of another molecule. Toluene,Chlorobenzene,and Nitrobenzene do not have a hydrogen atom bonded to an electronegative atom like $O$,$N$,or $F$ capable of forming intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Therefore,$Phenol$ exhibits hydrogen bonding.
