Does Ethylamine Have Hydrogen Bonding?

In the case of ethylamine, since there is an N-H on one end of the structure there could be hydrogen bonding occurring between ethylamine molecules at that location.

Can ethylamine form hydrogen bonds?

All of the amines can form hydrogen bonds with water - even the tertiary ones. Although the tertiary amines don't have a hydrogen atom attached to the nitrogen and so can't form hydrogen bonds with themselves, they can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules just using the lone pair on the nitrogen.

What intermolecular forces does ethylamine have?

What is the major intermolecular force at work in ethylamine, CH3CH2NH2? Hydrogen Bonding – Ethylamine is a polar molecule with a hydrogen covalently bonded to a N. So while it has dispersion forces, and dipole-dipole forces at work it also has hydrogen-bonding capability.
