Which of the following exhibit intermolecular hydrogen bonding in the pure liquid state?

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Answer: A, B

A pure substance must contain both an H bonded to F, O or N (donor) and a lone-pair-bearing acceptor atom. and have N-H and O-H bonds respectively. Dimethyl ether has no O-H and methane has no polar H, so they cannot hydrogen bond with themselves.
