Compared to micellular Compound 1, Compound 2 is structurally more rigid as a result of what type of interaction?

A. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding

B. Intermolecular covalent bonding

C. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding

D. Intramolecular covalent bonding

D. Intramolecular covalent bond

Explanation:

Compound D is structurally more rigid as a result of intramolecular covalent bonding. The forces that hold together atoms within a compound are greater as compared to forces holding two molecules together (intermolecular bonding). On the other hand Hydrogen bonds are weaker as compared to covalent bonds. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between two atoms and Hydrogen bonds are formed between a highly electronegative atom like oxygen, Flourine, Chlorine to hydrogen.
