Hello. And this problem, we're told the cell viability of hydrogen and water is 2.82 g per liter at 25 degrees Celsius and seven or 60 millimeters. Mercury brass to illustrate how hydrogen and water can form a hydrogen bond. This began by drawing the Lewis dot Structure for hydro gene using the need available share method. So need comes about from what they want to be stable. So we have to nitrogen that are trying to acquire an octet And we have four hydrogen which are trying to acquire two electrons to be like helium. This is a total of 24 electrons that are needed available. Come from valence electrons. We have two nitrogen to have five valence electrons and we have four hydrogen that have one valence electron. This is the total of 14 that are available. The difference between what we need, what we have available, tells us what we'll share, which is 10, we'll draw a skeletal structure, the nitrogen will go in the center and the hydrogen will go around them. Hydrogen will only form a single bond. So we'll be on the outside and I will form bonds that's 2468 10. And so we have four electrons left to account for and these will go on the nitrogen to fulfill their octet. We want to then show how hydrazine can form a hydrogen bond with water. Recall that in order for us to have hydrant bonding, we need to have hydrogen bound to nitrogen oxygen or flooring, which are electro negative elements. And so the electrons will be pulled away from the hydrogen and towards the nitrogen and hydrazine and away from the hydrogen towards oxygen in water. This then will result in a partial positive charge on the hydrogen and a partial negative on oxygen and the nitrogen, it's partial positive on the hydrogen, then interacts with a lone pair of electrons on oxygen or we can have partial positive on the hydrogen water interacting with a lone pair of electrons on nitrogen. So these are two possible ways in which we could form hydrogen bonds. This then corresponds to answer D thanks for watching. Hope this helped.
