Which one of the following compounds shows the presence of intramolecular hydrogen bond?

  1. A
    Concentrated acetic acid
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D
    Cellulose

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Intramolecular hydrogen bonding occurs within the same molecule.Acetic acid forms intermolecular H-bonds (dimers). and show intermolecular H-bonding.Cellulose consists of long chains of glucose units where H-bonding occurs between the hydroxyl groups within the same chain and between adjacent chains. However, significant intramolecular H-bonding is a defining structural feature of the glucose units within the cellulose polymer chain.(Note: Often -nitrophenol is a standard example, but in this specific NEET set, Cellulose is the intended answer for polymers showing internal stabilization).
