List the molecules (A-F) in the above table containing BOTH hydrogen bond donors

Question

List the molecules (A-F) in the above table containing BOTH hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, and those that contain ONLY hydrogen bond acceptors.
Group the above molecules (A-F) into two groups (labeled “Polar Group” and “Less Polar Group”). To receive full credit, you must be certain that members of one group will be of greater polarity than those of the second group.
Sorry about the sideways picture Thank you Rf value: fill in Functional Group: fill in Structure: drav 0.76 cm Compound Phenol 0.91 cm ether 0.52 cm Alcohol 0.76 cm ketone

Explanation / Answer

Molecules having both Oxygen and Hydrogen attached to oxygen can act as both h-bonding donars and acceptors

Hydrogen bond donars and acceptors: A,C,E

Molecules having only oxygens can act as H-bonding acceptors

Hydrogen bond acceptors only: B,D,F

2) Polar compounds: C,E (molecules with greater polarity will have smaller Rf value)

Less polar groups: A,B,D,F (molecules with less polarity will have large Rf value than polar)
