alleryLower aliphatic amines dissolve in water because they can form:
AHydroxide bonds
BHydrocarbon bonds
CHydrogen bonds
DHydraulic bonds
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Hydrogen bonds
1. Solubility in water depends on interaction with water molecules.
2. The nitrogen lone pair and the hydrogens allow that interaction.
3. Lower aliphatic amines are soluble in water because they can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.
4. So the answer is hydrogen bonds.
