How is it possible for 12-Dihydroxybenzene to have intramolecular hydrogen bonds?
Bandit0214
The OH groups are on adjacent carbon atoms (1,2 ) in the benzene ring. The evidence is that the H bonds are weak- if you make a model of the compound the distances between the hydroxyl groups would suggest only a weak bond.

Which forces can be classified as intramolecular?
Covalent bonds can be classified as intramolecular forces.
What holds the molecules in solid together?
Water molecules are held together by hydrogen bond which is formed between hydrogen of one molecule and oxygen of other molecule. H2O-----H-O-H
Type of bond forms?
Types of intramolecular bonds: ionic, covalent, metallic.
What chemical groups are hydrogen acceptors for hydrogen bonds?
A hydrogen acceptors for hydrogen bonds is nitrogen.
What holdes the two strands of a DNA molecule to each other?
Hydrogen bonds
What type of intramolecular bonds are found in propane?
Covalent bonds between carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen
What kinds of bonds are hydrogen bonds?
There are a few types of hydrogen bonds. Fluorine, oxygen, and nitrogen are the elements that typically form bonds with hydrogen.
Does C2H5OH have hydrogen bonds?
C2H5OH is the formula for ethanol, an organic compound. Hydrogen bonds are possible for ethanol at the intermolecular level, between molecules, but not for the intramolecular carbon-hydrogen or the oxygen-hydrogen bonding within the molecule. Hydrogen bonds are much weaker than true chemical bond.A good example of a hydrogen bond is that which makes water a liquid at normal temperature and pressure.
What are water's intermolecular bonds?
Water has two main bonds: hydrogen bonds between other water molecules, and a covalent bond between hydrogen and oxygen.
Which forces can be classified as intramolecular?
Covalent bonds can be classified as intramolecular forces.
What is so special about hydrogen when forming bonds?
It can only form one intramolecular bond, and has its own type of intermolecular bond.
Are hydrogen bonds easily broken?
Heat. Intermolecular Hydrogen bonds (between two water molecules) are broken as water is heated to boil.The intramolecular hydrogen bonds (between H and O) stay intact
What holds the molecules in solid together?
Water molecules are held together by hydrogen bond which is formed between hydrogen of one molecule and oxygen of other molecule. H2O-----H-O-H
What intermolecular force is benzoic acid?
Benzoic acid has an OH group which is polar, so it can form hydrogen bonds.
Why intramolecular forces stronger?
Intramolecuar forces are covalent bonds these involve the sharing of electrons. Intermolecular bonds are electrostatic in origin such as hydrogen bonds and London disprion forces which involve attractions between small charges.
What is the weakest a covalent bond hydrogen bond or an ion?
hydrogen bonding is considered to be a intermolecular force which is much weaker than any intramolecular force (chemical bonds covalent or ion)
What regions are a hydrogen bond a weak attraction between?
Hydrogen bonds are the strongest intermolecular bond, as opposed to intramolecular bonds (ionic, covalent and metallic). They are therefore comparatively weak (these are what is broken when a substance becomes gaseous). Intermolecular bonds exist, as the name suggests, between molecules.
