Explanation

Hydrogen bonding occurs when hydrogen is directly bonded to highly electronegative atoms such as oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine. Among the given compounds, only ethanol (C2H5OH) contains an -OH group capable of forming hydrogen bonds. Ethane, chloroethane, and dimethyl ether do not have hydrogen atoms bonded to oxygen or other electronegative atoms in a way that permits hydrogen bonding.
