Which of the following molecules shows intramolecular hydrogen bonding?
- A Benzoic acid
- B Salicylaldehyde
- C Benzaldehyde
- D Phenol
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Salicylaldehyde
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Intramolecular hydrogen bonding takes place when five membered or six membered rings are formed.
Benzoic acid, benzaldehyde andphenol does not havethis property and that is whythey cannot form intramolecular hydrogen bonds. But by the structure of salicylaldehyde, it can be said that, it can form intramolecular hydrogen bonds as shown below:
