    Methanol is soluble in water due to

    A)  covalent bond nature

    B)  hydrogen bonding

    C)  ionic bond nature

    D)  its poisonous nature

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In methanol \[(C{{H}_{3}}OH),\] H is bonded directly with \[O,\]thus it forms H-bonding with water. \[........\underset{C{{H}_{3}}}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{O}}\,}}\,-H......\underset{H}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{O}}\,}}\,-H........\underset{C{{H}_{3}}}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{O}}\,}}\,-H.......\] Hence, it is soluble in water.
