Asked by Chelsea

why don't water and benzophenone hydrogen bond? benzophenone has a C=O and water forms H bonds too.
Answered by DrBob222
Who says it doesn't? There could be some weak H bonding but benzophenone is largely a non-polar molecule (slightly polar because of the C=O bond but those two rings give it a lot of organic character.) But its listed as insoluble in water; the proof is in the pudding.
