Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ketones cannot act as hydrogen bond donors because they lack a hydrogen atom directly bonded to an electronegative atom (such as oxygen or nitrogen) that is necessary for hydrogen bonding. They can, however, act as hydrogen bond acceptors through the oxygen atom in their carbonyl group.
