The correct answer is e) CH3NH3.
Hydrogen bonding occurs when a hydrogen atom is bonded to a highly electronegative atom (such as nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine) and is attracted to another electronegative atom in a nearby molecule. CH3NH3, also known as methylamine, has a hydrogen atom bonded to a nitrogen atom, which can form hydrogen bonds with other electronegative atoms. The other compounds listed do not have hydrogen atoms bonded to electronegative atoms that can participate in hydrogen bonding.
For which of the following compounds is hydrogen bonding the main intermolecular force?
