Which of the following compounds shows evidence of the strongest hydrogen bonding
Options
(a) Propan-1-ol
(b) Propan-2ol
(c) Propane-1,2-diol
(d) propane-1,2,3-triol
Correct Answer:
propane-1,2,3-triol
Explanation:
Propane -1,2,3-triol or glycerol has very high boiling point i.e., 290⁰C. The high viscosity and high boiling point of glycerol are due to association through extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
