Lower alcohols are highly soluble in water due to A) Van der Waals attraction B) Dipole dipole interaction C) Steric hindrance D) H-bonding
D) H-bonding
Lower alcohols, such as methanol (CH3OH), ethanol (C2H5OH), and isopropanol (C3H7OH), are highly soluble in water primarily due to hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) between the alcohol molecules and water molecules. This strong intermolecular force allows for the formation of hydrogen bonds between the oxygen atom in the alcohol's hydroxyl (OH) group and the hydrogen atoms in water molecules, resulting in increased solubility.
