Urea is an organic compound widely used as a fertilizer. Its solubility in water allows it to be made into aqueous fertilizer solutions and applied to crops in a spray. hat is the maximum theoretical number of water molecules that one urea molecule can hydrogen bond with? (Ignore shape for the purposes of this answer.) Urea could theoretically form hydrogen bonds with this number of water molecules. (Note, however, that the size and shape of a molecule may limit the number of hydrogen bonds formed by one urea molecule.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

3 hydrogen bonds.

Explanation:

This is because the urea molecule has an oxygen atom bound with double bonds to the central carbon atom, and this oxygen can form a hydrogen bond with water, as well as both terminal amine groups that can also form a hydrogen bond each because of the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen group.
