QJEEM22Ch71bc: JEE Main 2022 Chemistry - Class 11 JEEM22Ch71bc Solution: The correct order of increasing intermolecular hydrogen bond…
The correct order of increasing intermolecular hydrogen bond strength is :
Multiple Choice Options
- A HCN < H2O < NH3
- B HCN < CH4 < NH3
- C CH4 < HCN < NH3
- D CH4 < NH3 < HCN
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Due to the high difference in electronegativity of H and N the H-bond strength of NH3 is highest. There is no H-bond in CH4.
CH4 < HCN < NH3
CH4 < HCN < NH3
