Chemistry - CHEMICAL BONDING Question with Solution | TestHub

Solid sodium hydrogen carbonate has chains of $\mathrm{HC}{\mathrm{O}}_3^{-}$; solid potassium hydrogen carbonate has hydrogen-bonded bicarbonate dimers. Boric acid makes a hydrogen-bonded layered solid. Chloral hydrate is $\mathrm{CC}{\mathrm{l}}_3\mathrm{CH}(\mathrm{OH}{)}_2$: its two hydroxyl groups can make the intramolecular hydrogen-bond arrangement shown in the supplied solution.
