ANSWER:Solution 81P
The ball-and-stick models below represent three compounds with the same molecular formula, C4H8O2.
Step 1
(a) Here we have to explain which compound(s) can form intermolecular H bonds.
Intermolecular H-bond is defined as the hydrogen bond formed among the highly electronegative atom (O,F. N) and H-atom in between the molecules.
Thus among the given structure, the compound A and compound B can form intermolecular H-bond.
