Question 8.7: Drawing Hydrogen Bonds Methanol (CH3OH) is a liquid that can...

Drawing Hydrogen Bonds
Methanol $(CH_{3}OH)$ is a liquid that can be used in fuel cells. Draw all the hydrogen bonds that can form when one methanol molecule is surrounded by other methanol molecules in a liquid sample.

STRATEGY
Hydrogen bonding occurs as a result of a strong dipole–dipole interaction and follows the pattern shown below. X represents one of the highly electronegative atoms F, O, or N. Align two $CH_{3}OH$ molecules to fit the pattern and draw the resulting hydrogen bonds.
