Why do alcohols form stronger H-bonds than amines of similar mass?
AAmines lack N-H bonds
BAmines have no lone pair
CNitrogen is a larger atom
DOxygen is more electronegative
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Oxygen is more electronegative
Oxygen (3.5) is more electronegative than nitrogen (3.0), so O-H bonds are more polar than N-H bonds.
