1.

Which of the following compounds shows evidence of the strongest hydrogen bonding

Answer»

Propane-1-ol
Propane-2-ol
Propane-1,2-diol
Propane-1,2,3-triol

Solution :Propane-1,2,3-triol or glycerol has very high BOILING POINT i.e., `290^(@)C` , The high VISCOSITY and high boiling point of glycerol are due to ASSOCIATION of glycerol molecules through extensive INTERMOLECULAR hydrogen bonding due to presence of three polar-OH group
