Question:medium

In which of the following hydrogen bond does not exist?

Show Hint

Compounds containing both \[ \boxed{-\mathrm{OH}} \] and a nearby oxygen atom often exhibit intramolecular hydrogen bonding. Acetophenone contains only a carbonyl group and lacks an \(\mathrm{O-H}\) or \(\mathrm{N-H}\) bond, so it cannot form hydrogen bonding.
