Question

oximes are biochemically active molecules, some of them find uses as an antidote for nerve gas! oximes can exists in a form where two molecules are bound together in a \dimer\ by hydrogen bonding intermolecular forces. the provided structure shows the covalent bonds within the molecules and also the intermolecular hydrogen bonds. how many hydrogen - bonds are shown in the provided structure? 1 hydrogen - bond 2 hydrogen - bonds 3 hydrogen - bonds 4 hydrogen - bonds

Explanation:

Step1: Identify hydrogen - bond positions

Hydrogen bonds are shown as dotted lines in the structure.

Step2: Count the dotted lines

Count each dotted line representing a hydrogen - bond. There are 4 dotted lines in the given molecular structure.

Answer:

4 hydrogen - bonds
